Flamengo and Corinthians meet on Sunday, Sep 13 at 5:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Serie A. Just 1 point separate them in the standings.

Flamengo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Corinthians, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Flamengo head into this on the back of a defeat, while Corinthians arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Flamengo here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against Corinthians, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Flamengo a slight edge, but Corinthians are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
