Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (31), when they face Atlético-MG, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. Thus, Filipe Luís' team tries to take the lead in pursuit of a spot in the next knockout stage of the tournament. With this in mind, the Most Beloved hopes to 'make it count' against the Minas Gerais team in the competition.
This is because, Flamengo and Atlético-MG have met four times in the Brazil Cup, totaling eight games. In the meantime, the Most Beloved has five wins, one draw, and two losses, that is, a 67% success rate. It is worth noting that the most emblematic confrontation was the national tournament final in 2024, when the Red-Black team was crowned champion.
Flamengo, in fact, seeks to defend the 'champion's belt' and reach the sixth championship of the Brazil Cup. After all, in 2024, Filipe Luís' team lifted the tournament trophy after defeating Atlético-MG itself, by 4 to 1 on aggregate. Before that, however, the Most Beloved had already won the national competition title four times: 1990, 2006, 2013 and 2022.
The match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG takes place this Thursday (31), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. The confrontation, which will be at Maracanã, will have coverage from Coluna do Fla, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the classic.
