Corinthians take on the visitors Flamengo in the round 16 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, July10th at Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo).
Corinthians are having a very difficult season right now. "Timau" performs not only in Serie A. They quite expectedly passed the group round of the Copa Libertadores without any special problems. But already in the 1/8 finals, the draw brought the Brazilians together with such a status opponent as Boca Juniors. At home with the Argentines were limited to only a goalless draw. In turn, this week in Buenos Aires the score was repeated, but still in the penalty shootout, not without luck, Corinthians managed to advance further. A decline in the domestic arena is associated with the playoffs of the main continental tournament. The team didn't manage to score against Santos. And July began with a devastating defeat, 0-4, to Fluminense. And it's good that the competitors, led by Palmeiras, are also not particularly stable.

Flamengo has already changed coaches in an attempt to rectify the situation. The Vultures were relatively recently the leading team in the country. And not only that, there were successes in the Cope Libertadores. Against this background, 2nd place last season in Serie A was perceived as a failure. Moreover, having reached the final of the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilians lost there. In order to bring the team back to the peak, Paula Souza was invited in the winter. But the Portuguese managed to disappoint by June. Although he still managed to get through the group stage of the Copa. Already without him, under Dorival Junior, there was a confrontation there with Deportes Tolima. Which in the return match was simply defeated 7-1! It is equally important to correct the situation in Serie A. There, under the new coach, it was possible to win in a row against America Mineiro (3-0 at home) and Santos (2-1 away). With the density of the Brasileirao table, this already allowed us to get close to the top 6.
Corinthians last won a head-to-head back in 2018, and within the framework of the national cup. After that, there were 9 matches, and only once, in 2019, Timau was able to take at least a draw. Last calendar year, Flamengo had 3 wins, all with different scores - 2-1, 3-1 and 1-0. Corinthians is clearly suffering a setback, but Flamengo's change of mentor has clearly benefited the team. Given the history of the relationship, it is worth taking the victory of the visitors with 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Flamengo to win with 0.0 handicap.
