Atlético-MG and Flamengo face each other this Wednesday (6), at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil . The broadcast will be live on the Sportv and Premiere channels. However, fans can follow the commentary on Flamengo TV (link below).
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, Galo prevailed, winning 1-0, giving the Minas Gerais team the advantage of a draw to advance. Mengão, now coached by Filipe Luís , needs to win by one goal to force a penalty shootout. A victory by two or more goals secures direct qualification to the quarterfinals.
Flamengo will have significant absences for the match. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo were not included due to physical stress management, a precaution taken by the medical department after a busy streak.
Given this, Filipe Luís will have to reorganize his attacking side to maintain his attacking power and secure a positive result away from home. Rubro-Negro hasn't won in two consecutive matches, against Atlético-MG and Ceará, which increases the pressure for a strong performance.
Mengão is looking for a victory by more than two goals against Galo in the Copa do Brasil and if they reach the direct spot, they will achieve a feat for the coach.

According to Sofascore data, under his leadership, the team has scored 98 goals in 58 matches , an average of 1.69 goals per match. Now, the club is just two goals away from reaching the 100-goal mark under the current coach.

With a skilled squad, solid performance, and a thriving attack, Flamengo arrives confidently to face Galo and fight for a spot in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Mengão needs to win by two goals to qualify without resorting to penalty kicks, which would guarantee the coach his centennial milestone.
