At Mineirão, teams play the second consecutive game of the week
In a new chapter of the rivalry, Atlético-MG and Flamengo will play, this Wednesday, the second consecutive game of the week. This time, they open the dispute in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The ball rolls at Mineirão at 21:30 (Brasília time) for the national classic, worth R$ 3.9 million for those who pass.
For the duel soon, Galo does not have the steering wheel Jair, who suffered a fracture in his left hand and has already undergone surgery. Otávio will be the substitute, in what should be the only change from Sunday’s lineup. The good news is the return of Savinho, who completed a period of isolation due to Covid-19 and is released. The tendency is for him to stay on the bench and Vargas to be kept as a starter.
After Flamengo left Atlético-MG very comfortable to build in the offensive midfield last Sunday, Dorival Júnior decided to strengthen the midfield and change the characteristic of the left side. Swapped forward Ayrton Lucas for Filipe Luís. Willian Arão came in to give more support to the middle to qualify the exit and share the markup with João Gomes, who was overloaded in the last game.
