Now five-time Copa do Brasil champions, Flamengo arrives buoyed by their sporting success and another victory over Atlético-MG, but once again in turmoil due to Gabigol's suspension, decided by the board this Tuesday. Injuries and the FIFA deadline have increased the number of absences for the Rubro-Negro for the match.

Atlético is still coming to terms with its defeat to Flamengo at home last Sunday in the Copa do Brasil final. The club is dealing with the problems that resulted in the closure of the MRV Arena by the STJD. In the Brasileirão, the team needs to score points to climb the table and enter the qualifying zone for the Libertadores. Galo has 41 points and is in 11th place, six points behind the G-7.
