📋 Atlético and Flamengo line-ups revealed for Copa do Brasil showdown | OneFootball

Arena MRV will be the stage for the highly anticipated second-leg clash between Atlético and Flamengo.

The ball will be rolling soon, starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).

A spot in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Copa do Brasil is at stake.

And a prize of R$ 4.7 million for the team that advances.

Match Situation 👇🏽

Galo won at Maracanã by 1-0 and, with that, has the advantage of a draw in front of their fans.

Rubro-Negro will only advance in regular time if they win by at least two goals.

A win by one goal will take the decision to penalties.

History in the Copa do Brasil 🆚

This is the fifth time Fla and Galo will face each other in the tournament.

In 2006, Rubro-Negro advanced to the semis after a 4-1 aggregate—and would go on to win the title against Vasco.

In the 2014 semis, Galo pulled off a great comeback after losing 2-0 at Maracanã and winning the return leg 4-1. They reached the final and also took the trophy against their biggest rival.

In 2022, the clash was in the round of 16. Fla advanced after a 3-2 aggregate. They would also become champions.

Last year, the clash was already in the final. And with two Rubro-Negro victories.

Atlético 🐓

Saravia, recovered from a knock to his right calf, was set to return. But at the last minute, Natanael became the starter in that position.

Arana, who was struggling with a muscle injury in his left thigh, is starting.

Dudu is also back as an option, as he is only cleared to play in the Copa do Brasil.

There was expectation for a possible start for Alexsander.

But he will not start.

Flamengo ⚫🔴

Filipe Luís will be without Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo.

Cebolinha and Wallace Yan are new faces in the attack.

Varela will start at right back. And Ayrton Lucas starts on the left.

Evertton Araújo remains among the starting eleven.
