Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro will battle for three points in a Brasileiro Serie A matchday 32 clash on Sunday (October 16).
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw at Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa do Brazil final on Wednesday. The second leg will be played at the Maracana next week.
Atletico Mineiro also shared the spoils in a goalless draw against Ceara in front of their fans.
The stalemate left the Belo Horizonte outfit in seventh spot in the standings, having garnered 47 points from 31 games. Flamengo occupy fourth spot in the points stable and have 51 points.
Flamengo will look to consolidate their position in the top four to secure automatic qualification for the Copa Libertadores. Meanwhile, Atletico's current position is only good enough for the Copa Sudamericana.

Flamengo vs Atletico Mineiro Prediction
Flamengo and Atletico share a deep-rooted rivalry, and their passion is always felt whenever both teams face each other.
Flamengo have not performed up to expectations this season but have the second leg of their Copa do Brazil final clash with Corinthians to look forward to. A win against Mineiro would go a long way in boosting their confidence ahead of the final, but Mineiro have a recent strong record against the Rubro-Negro.
Nevertheless, Flamengo tend to get the job done in front of their fans and should claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
