Flamengo RJ take on the visitors Santos at “Maracana Stadium” in the first-leg match of the quarter-final of the Copa do Brasil. The game will be played in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, June 29th.
Flamengo RJ are in the great competitive form: the side was defeated only twice in 15 recent clashes. The team’s unbeaten run consists of five encounters and has been lasting since the 11th of June. After 10 rounds of the Serie A, “Urubu” sits on the third place in the table with 17 points taken. Ze Ricardo’s side started its pace in the Copa do Brasil at the 1/8 stage and knocked out Atletico GO 0:0, 2:1.

Santos unexpectedly lost their last game of the season against Sport Recife with 0:1 scoreline in front of their supporters and ended their five-clash undefeated series. As a result, “Peixes” occupy the fifth position in the standings of the Serie A with 16 points gained and 9-7 goal difference after 10 matchdays. In regard to the Copa do Brasil, Santos knocked out Paysandu PA 2:0, 3:1 in the previous round. In 2017 Santos conducted 15 clashes on the road recording seven triumphs, four draws and four losses in them.
Flamengo RJ were not beaten by Santos in four recent head-to-heads getting three draws and 2:0 triumph in them. Taking into consideration the hosting side’s outstanding run at the home ground, I believe that “Urubu” will demonstrate solid performance at “Maracana Stadium” this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Flamengo RJ to win.
