Corinthians comes in under pressure after a defeat to bottom-placed Sport in the last round, 1-0, at Ilha do Retiro. The result in Recife ended a run of five games unbeaten for Dorival Júnior's team.
Last Friday, the Alvinegro squad was confronted by organized supporters at the Dr. Joaquim Grava training center. The team is currently in tenth place in the Brasileirão table, with 29 points.
This Sunday's match will mark the debut of Timão's new third kit. The model references the Total 90 line, a Nike hit in 2005, and features black and orange colors.
Flamengo, meanwhile, leads Série A with 51 points. In addition, the Rubro-Negro is riding high after qualifying for the Libertadores semifinals, eliminating Estudiantes on penalties.
In their last national league match, the team led by Filipe Luís drew with Vasco, 1-1.
The overall head-to-head between Corinthians and Flamengo shows a slight advantage for the Rubro-Negro side. According to the site Ogol, specialized in statistics, there have been 54 wins for the Rio team, 45 for the São Paulo team, and 25 draws in 124 matches played.
The recent record, once terrible for Corinthians, has become more balanced. In the last ten meetings between the teams, there have been four Flamengo wins, two Corinthians wins, and four draws.
The last match between the teams ended with a Flamengo rout, 4-0, at Maracanã. This was, in fact, the last match before coach Dorival Júnior took charge of Timão.

Inconsistent, Corinthians has seven wins, eight draws, and nine losses in the current edition of the Brazilian Championship – a 40% success rate. The team has scored 24 goals and conceded 29.
The Alvinegro's home numbers are poor. Timão is the fifth worst home team in the tournament, with only four wins in 11 matches.
Meanwhile, Flamengo is having a great campaign, with 15 wins, six draws, and only two losses – a 73% success rate. With 48 goals scored and only 11 conceded, the team boasts the best attack and best defense in Série A.
Additionally, the Rio team is the second-best away team in the tournament, with six wins in ten matches.
Coach Dorival Júnior will make changes to Corinthians. He has the return of striker Gui Negão, who served a suspension in the last match. Midfielder Charles, in physical transition, and young midfielder Luiz Gustavo Bahia, with swelling in his left ankle, may also be available again.
Striker Memphis Depay, meanwhile, is expected to remain out. The Dutchman, recovering from swelling in his right hamstring, did not train on the pitch this week. Therefore, it is unlikely he will be available.
Midfielders André Carrillo and Rodrigo Garro, who are in the medical department, are definite absences.
On the other side, Flamengo may rest some starters due to fatigue from the matches against Estudiantes in the Libertadores. Felipe Luís is expected to be without Erick Pulgar, in physical transition, and Michael, with pain in his left ankle.
Left-back Ayrton Lucas, suspended for accumulating three yellow cards, is out.
Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, José Martínez (Maycon), Breno Bidon, and Vitinho; Gui Negão and Yuri Alberto.
Rossi; Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira (Léo Ortiz), and Viña; Jorginho (Allan), De La Cruz, and De Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha), Luiz Araújo, and Bruno Henrique.
