Corinthians take on the visitors Flamengo in the first leg of Copa Libertadotes quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 3rd at Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo).
Corinthians look good this season. The Timau is one of the most popular and ambitious clubs in Brazil. Which at the same time has not won for a long time. And in the off-season in this part of São Paulo, they decided to follow the football trend that is now popular in the country by calling the Portuguese, Vitor Pereira. Now, by August, we can note good intermediate results of this specialist. With him, Corinthians manage to go among the leaders of the Serie A, to continue the fight for the cup. And, no less important, it turned out to beat Boca Juniors in the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores, albeit on penalties after a 0-0 in both legs.

Flamengo tries to rectify the situation after coaching reshuffle. The Vultures have most recently been a local leader. This prevented the team from objectively assessing the results of last season: 2nd place in Serie A and defeat in the final of the Copa Libertadores. As a result, here in the offseason, the Portuguese, Paulo Souza, also appeared in the chair of the head coach. But he failed, as in many other places of his work as a mentor - he did not work in Brazil for even six months, leaving the wards practically in the relegation zone. He was replaced by Dorival Junior, and it's showing the difference. With him, the team rose sharply in Brasileirao and passed in the Atlético Mineiro Cup. And within the framework of the Copa Libertadores, the grand started fiery in the playoffs: they beat Deportes Tolima in both meetings. Moreover, if in Colombia it was possible to win minimally, then at home they crashed opponents with a score of 7-1. But now there will be a clearly more serious opponent.
Corinthians couldn't win a head-to-head since 2018. Moreover, Flamengo had 5 wins in a row. But this black streak "Timau" this season has already managed to break, having won in July due to Rodiney's own goal. Both clubs are in good shape, and, most importantly, both of them understand that everything will be decided in the second leg. We recommend betting that this time they will finish on "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
