Flamengo take on the visitors Athletico Paranaense in the quarterfinal match of Copa do Brasil. The match will be played on Thursday, June 6th at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Flamengo continued to shine by winning last year's Copa Libertadores. "The Vultures" are generally considered one of the most popular and successful clubs in Brazil. This was confirmed in 2022 when they once again won the Copa Libertadores, although they finished in 5th place in the national Serie A. However, the triumphant celebration seemed to affect their performance, and they had a weak start to the new season. The solution came in the form of hiring Jorge Sampaoli in the spring. The Argentine coach had just been fired from Sevilla. Gradually, this decision proved beneficial as the team started winning under the new manager. There was a setback with a 0-4 loss to Red Bull Bragantino, but in the previous round, they convincingly defeated Fortaleza with a "grandmaster style" and a final score of 2-0.

Atletico Paranaense has been performing better on the international stage recently. "The Hurricane" were Brazilian champions, but that was a long time ago in 2001, and they have not been able to repeat that debut success. However, the "red-black" team managed to win the Copa Sudamericana twice, including in 2021. In the previous cycle, they reached their debut Copa Libertadores final but lost to Flamengo. Currently, they are performing well in the South American arena. They earned 13 points in the Copa Libertadores, securing a spot in the playoffs. In the Brasileirao, their results have been a mix of victories and defeats. In the previous round, despite conceding the first two goals, they managed to secure a fighting draw against Palmeiras.
In the previous matches, Flamengo had three consecutive victories, including in the final of the previous Copa Libertadores. However, Atletico Paranaense managed to take revenge by winning 2-1. Flamengo is playing at home against a favorable opponent. We bet on a victory for the hosts with a handicap of "-1."
Prediction for the match: Flamengo to win with -1.0 handicap.
