Eye on rivals! Flamengo’s next Brasileirão foe also away in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Flamengo’s next opponent in the Brasileirão, Athletico-PR face Atlético-GO this Thursday (14) in the Copa do Brasil

Flamengo and Athletico-PR face off this Sunday (17) at Ligga Arena in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, before the clash in Curitiba, both teams are fully focused on the Copa do Brasil.

This Thursday (14), the Rio-based Rubro-Negro visit Vitória, while the Paraná side take on Atlético-GO. That means both clubs will have the same amount of rest and preparation time for the weekend showdown.

On the other hand, travel logistics pose different challenges for the teams. While Athletico-PR play at home on Sunday (17), Flamengo face the burden of their fourth straight trip this season. This scenario forces the Most Beloved to take extra care with the squad’s physical wear and tear in order to maintain a competitive level in the capital of Paraná.

WHERE TO WATCH THE GAMES?

The match between Vitória and Flamengo kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Thursday (14). The game will be broadcast on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view), as well as, of course, complete coverage from Coluna do Fla. It is worth noting that Mengão only need a draw on aggregate to secure a place in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, since they won the first meeting 2-1.

A little earlier, at 7 p.m. Brasília time, Atlético-GO host Athletico-PR at Antônio Accioly Stadium in Goiânia. The match will also be broadcast on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view). As the first leg ended 0-0, any simple win secures direct qualification, while another draw will send the decision to penalties.
