Substitutes: Matheus Cunha, Emerson Royal, João Victor, Cleiton, Alex Sandro, Viña, Allan, Saúl, Samuel Lino, Arrascaeta, Matheus Gonçalves and Juninho.
Coach Filipe Luís maintained the same core lineup that drew with Ceará last Sunday (03) in the Brasileirão. However, the coach made some changes for technical reasons.
To face Atlético-MG, Flamengo has several absences. They are: Pulgar (right foot), De la Cruz (physical reconditioning), Danilo (right thigh), Victor Hugo (technical decision), Michael (technical decision), Carrascal (not registered in the Copa do Brasil), Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique (both with load management).
It is worth remembering that Flamengo lost the first leg and now needs to win the return match by two or more goals to advance to the next phase. Therefore, this Wednesday's (06) match is decisive for the Rubro-Negro.
Flamengo and Atlético-MG will face off starting at 7 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (06). The clash, valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, takes place at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte.
