🗞️ Team News: Flamengo
Matheuzinho (Leg Injury), David Luiz (Muscular problems), Pedro (Hamstring Injury) and Gabriel Noga (Knee Injury) won’t be playing for Flamengo gaffer Jorge Sampaoli.
We think that Fla will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Matheus Cunha, Fabrício Bruno, Pablo, Léo Pereira, Ayrton, Victor Hugo, Thiago Maia, Matheus Franca, G. de Arrascaeta, Everton and Gabriel Barbosa.
📰 Team News: Corinthians
Owing to an otherwise available group, there is only the one fitness issue for the Corinthians manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo to be concerned about. Gustavo Mosquito (Ruptured knee ligament) won’t be in action.
We reckon that Timão seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Cassio, Fagner, Murillo, Gil, Matheus Bidu, Fausto Vera, Maycon, Wesley Gassova, Giuliano, Roger Guedes and Yuri Alberto.
✨ Prediction
In this game, Flamengo will most probably score a couple of goals when they face Corinthians, who might well find it a difficult task getting on the scoresheet.
Our tip is for a 2-0 winning score for Flamengo at full-time.
