Flamengo will host Coritiba at the Estadio do Maracana on Saturday night in the 17th game week of the Brasileiro Serie A.
The hosts have struggled for results in the league this season. They find themselves just three points above the drop zone after losing 1-0 to second-placed Corinthians in their last league outing. They returned to winning ways in midweek, knocking out Copa do Brazil defending champions Atletico Mineiro in the last 16 of the cup competition with a 3-2 aggregate win.
Flamengo sit ninth in the league table with 21 points from 16 games. They will look to pick up all three points this weekend as they push for the Copa Libertadores places.
Trending
Coritiba, meanwhile, have endured a tough spell on their return to the top flight this season and had a particularly abysmal run in June. They opened July with a 2-1 win over bottom-placed Fortaleza before coming back from a two-goal deficit to clinch a 2-2 draw against Juventude in their last outing.
The Glorioso have picked up just 19 points from 16 games and sit 14th in the league standings. They are just one point above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap on Saturday.
