Corinthians vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | October 20th 2024 

Corinthians will host Flamengo at the Neo Quimica Arena on Sunday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa do Brasil semifinal clash. The home side have had their struggles in recent games but returned to winning ways emphatically on Thursday as they thrashed Athletico Paranaense 5-2 in the Brasileirao Serie A and will now look to carry that momentum into the domestic cup this weekend.

Flamengo were also in action during the week, locking horns with rivals Fluminense in the Clássico das Multidões which they lost 2-0, marking their first home league defeat to their city neighbours since 2022 and first loss under new boss Filipe Luis.

The visitors, however, have a foot in the Copa do Brasil final after picking up a 1-0 win in their first leg clash earlier in the month, with former Juventus defender Alex Sandro scoring the sole goal of the game to open his account for the club.

While Corinthians are three-time winners of the domestic cup, their weekend opponents have lifted the cup title on four occasions and will be looking to go all the way to their fifth this season after losing out to Sao Paulo in the cup final last year.

Corinthians vs Flamengo Prediction

Corinthians' latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They are undefeated in their last 15 games on home turf and will head into Sunday's game with every chance of overturning their first-leg result.

Flamengo, meanwhile, saw their latest result end a run of three consecutive wins and they will be looking to put out a response this Sunday. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and could see their cup tie decided on penalties.

Prediction: Corinthians 1-0 Flamengo
