This Thursday (14), Flamengo take on Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. For the match that is worth a place in the tournament’s round of 16, Leonardo Jardim outlined Fla’s lineup with Bruno Henrique in the starting XI.
Rossi; Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Carrascal; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique.
It is worth noting that Flamengo have four confirmed absences for the match against Vitória. Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, while Lucas Paquetá is recovering from swelling in the tendon of his left thigh.
In addition, Arrascaeta is recovering from surgery to repair a fractured collarbone. Finally, Gonzalo Plata has a knee injury and did not travel to Salvador with the Flamengo squad.
Finally, it is worth pointing out that the Flamengo vs Vitória match will be broadcast live on Premiere via pay-per-view, as well as on SporTV on subscription TV. Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla TV, on YouTube, will cover everything from pre-match to post-match.
Having beaten Vitória 2-1 at the Maracanã, Flamengo arrive in Salvador with a narrow advantage. That means even a draw will send Leonardo Jardim’s team through in the Copa do Brasil. Besides that, a win by any scoreline will also see Fla advance to the round of 16.
However, if they lose by one goal, the place in the next round will be decided on penalties. If they are beaten by two goals or more, Flamengo will be eliminated, and Vitória will be the team to advance in the Copa do Brasil.
