In the only match in which they played for Couto Pereira, Coritiba lost to Internacional. Of course he is looking for his first home win, but that will not be easy. To make matters worse, he will face Flamengo, considered one of the best clubs in the country. Therefore, you will have to play hard on the pitch and present an above-average performance if you want to win. On the other hand, if you are careless and leave spaces, over time everything will get complicated.
Flamengo :

His attack has scored regularly, as he has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times, but have come back in 4. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (76’ ‑ 90 ‘ ).
Flamengo know they are capable of winning this game, because their squad is better than the home team. However, this is no reason to go into the field thinking that you will have facilities. So he will have to face the 90 minutes very seriously, because he does not want to waste a victory. Therefore, you have to have possession and control of the game, because that way you will have a better chance of adding all three points.
