Flamengo will host Corinthians in a matchday 33 fixture in the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a resounding 4-0 away victory over Sao Paulo on Saturday. Michael scored a brace while Bruno Henrique provided two assists in the game.
Corinthians secured a 3-2 victory over Cuiaba on home turf. Three different men got on the scoresheet to inspire their team to all three points.
The wins left the two sides in second and fifth spots respectively. The home side have garnered 60 points from 31 matches and are eight points behind table-toppers Atletico-MG.
Corinthians have accrued 50 points from 32 matches, which is only good enough for fifth position.
