Flamengo take on the visitors Corinthians in the second leg of Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. First leg result: 2-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 10th at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Flamengo successfully tries to save the season. The "Vultures" at one time launched a trend to invite the Portuguese coaches. They invited Jorge Jesus, and with him they won every possible trophy a couple of years ago. True, a new attempt to pull off something similar, already in 2022, ended in failure - both for the ambitious club, in terms of the starting segment of the season, and personally for Paulo Souza. They wrote that they were trying to return his eminent countryman, but he was lured by Fenerbahce (where Jesus had already managed to fly out of the Champions League, losing in qualification to Dynamo Kyiv). Forcibly, they made a bet on Dorival Junior, and there is no need to regret it. With him and in Brasileirao it was possible to add, and in the Copa Libertadores already after the 1st leg the grand can see themselves in the semifinals.

Corinthians likely to switch to Serie A. The "Timau" - another Brazilian giant that has relied on the Portuguese. Vitor Pereira spends his first months in South America, and it looks like he still hasn't fully settled in here. There are also successes, with him the ambitious club keeps among the leaders of Brasileirao, and they continued to fight in other tournaments. But it seems that in August there will be matches only in domestic arena. First, Corinthians lost 0-2 to Atletico Goianiense in the national cup, and after some week they repeated this unpleasant score for themselves with Flamengo, in the first quarterfinal of the Copa Libertadores. Of course, there will still be return leg, and there are chances for the continuation of the battle. But this is theoretical, but does Vitor and his wards believe that this can be achieved practically?
Over the course of 9 games, Flamengo did not lose to Corinthians - in this segment there was only 1 match that ended in a draw. All the more surprising is the fact that "Timau" exactly a month ago were able to win, playing with a man down. But the “Vultures” at the expense of the goals of de Arrascaeta and Gabriel Barbosa took a confident revenge last week. Flamengo will be the favorite in the second leg as well. But here everything is, in fact, clear, and begs to bet on "less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
