Total focus on the decision! Flamengo and Corinthians face each other this Sunday (20), in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final.

SEE PROBABLE LINEUP
Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, De la Cruz, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Bruno Henrique and Gabigol.
For the match against Corinthians, Filipe Luís must bring five players back to the starting lineup. In the defeat to Fluminense, Alex Sandro and Arrascaeta only entered the game in the final stretch. Furthermore, Gerson, De La Cruz and Pulgar were not listed for the classic, as they were physically worn out due to the last FIFA Date. Now, the expectation is that everyone will start the duel with the São Paulo team on the field.
FLAMENGO MISSINGS
For the decisive duel, Flamengo has five absences. Pedro, Everton Cebolinha and Matías Viña are nothing new and are recovering from surgery after serious injuries. Luiz Araújo remains in the Mengão Medical Department, due to a fracture in the cartilage of his right knee. Finally, Carlinhos is also a casualty for Fla, as the striker has already played in the Copa do Brasil wearing the Nova Iguaçu shirt.
BRAZIL CUP SEMIFINAL
As they won the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final 1-0, Flamengo could even draw the return duel that qualifies for the final. However, if Corinthians wins by a goal difference, the place will be determined by penalties. In other words, the only way for Fla to be directly eliminated is if the São Paulo team wins the match by two or more goals.
THE GAME
Corinthians x Flamengo takes place this Sunday (20), at 4pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. The second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final will be broadcast by Coluna do Fla live on YouTube.
