Flamengo and Atlético-MG face each other, this Wednesday, at 21:30 (Brasilia time), at Maracanã. The game is worth a spot in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, and Galo is ahead after a 2-1 victory in the first leg.
After saving six players in the defeat against Corinthians, Dorival Júnior should repeat the team that thrashed Tolima 7-1 last Wednesday. Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro return to the playfield sector, while David Luiz, Léo Pereira and Filipe Luís reoccupy their places in the defensive system. Pedro, who scored four goals against the Colombians, joins Gabigol at the front.
On the Galo side, Antonio Mohamed talks about the recent returns of Jair and Matías Zaracho from the DM. The club did not disclose the list of related ones, but forward Keno is among them. As he is coming off a hamstring injury, he must start on the bench. Turco may even choose to keep Igor Rabello at the back, in addition to Otávio in the middle, as Jair has a slower pace of play. In the attack, the question remains whether Ademir or Vargas will open alongside Hulk.
