Flamengo return to the field this Wednesday (22) to face Vitória in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Looking ahead to the clash, Artificial Intelligence ‘Gemini’ predicted that Mengão will win the match 2-0, taking an advantage over the team from Bahia.
Flamengo come into this match with a great deal of confidence. Under Leonardo Jardim, the team is on a positive run. Considering the depth of Flamengo’s squad and the need to get the result at home to avoid pressure in Salvador, the trend points to red-and-black dominance. Prediction: Flamengo 2-0 Vitória,” it said.
It is worth noting that the second match of the fifth round is scheduled for May 14 (Thursday), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Barradão. Therefore, with the knockout tie to be decided away from home, Flamengo hope to build a good advantage at the Maracanã and move closer to qualification for the round of 16.
Flamengo currently have three confirmed absences for the match against Vitória. Erick Pulgar is recovering from a right shoulder injury, while Jorge Carrascal is serving a suspension for the red card he received in the Supercopa do Brasil. Finally, Lucas Paquetá has been diagnosed with swelling in the fibular tendon and the hamstring.
Jorginho, on the other hand, is a doubt for Leonardo Jardim for the team’s Copa do Brasil debut. That is because the midfielder trained with the red-and-black squad this Monday (20) and, because of that, has a chance of being available to the Portuguese coach. It is worth remembering that the No. 21 had been recovering from a left calf injury.
The first match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place this Wednesday (22), in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
