A late second-half goal from Willian Arao earned Flamengo a slender 1-0 lead in that first encounter.
Abel Braga’s men not only took the lead but, because they won away from home they now theoretically have the tie in their hands with the second leg taking place at their home ground.
The one positive that Corinthians can take from the current situation is the fact that they have absolutely nothing to lose.
What’s more, Fabio Carille’s side are in good form having won four straight games in all competitions. In those four games, Corinthians have scored seven goals and conceded none.
Despite this, the betting recommendation is to back Flamengo. At home, this is an unbelievably strong side which has win all five of its latest games at the Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho.
The away side is expected to give this game a good go meaning the advice is to back a home win but both teams to score, at the current price of 4/1.
