Flamengo will host Cruzeiro at the legendary Maracanã Stadium in what will be matchday 5 of the Brazilian league. Fla has had a rather turbulent start to the tournament, as after losing the Brazilian Super Cup final and the South American Recopa final, they ended up firing their coach, Filipe Luis, despite winning the Rio de Janeiro tournament. The arrival of Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim promises to return the Libertadores champions to their best form. Despite their poor run of form, they have been sharp in attack, scoring 14 goals in their last five games in all competitions.

On the other hand, the “Rasposa” has had a bad run in the Brazilian league, failing to win any of its first four games, although it did manage to win the Mineirao title. A fight against Atlético Mineiro ended with more than 10 players sent off and beaten up. The problem for Tite's team has been their poor defense, as they have conceded a total of nine goals so far this season. In addition, they go into this game with a total of four players out due to injury.
