Corinthians vs Flamengo
15:00 ET
After passing a round inside the relegation zone and leaving it with an away win against Athletico-PR, in the debut of coach Vagner Mancini, Corinthians enters the round in 14th position with 16 points. The distance to the Z-4, however, is still only two points.
Third place with 31 points - same score as leaders Atlético-MG and Internacional - Flamengo comes from a marathon: they beat Goiás on Tuesday and, two days later, tied with Bragantino, in two games within Maracanã. Now, 66 hours later, the team is back on the field. There are six games in the interval of 14 days.
Historically, there is a lot of balance in duels. In 138 games, Corinthians won 53, Flamengo won 55, and in 30 of them there was a draw.
In Itaquera, there have been seven duels between the clubs since 2014, with three Corinthians victories, two draws and two Flamengo victories - the most striking in 2018, by 3 to 0, until today the only defeat by three goals that Timão had inside the new home.
