Corinthians and Flamengo enter the field this Wednesday for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final.

The two clubs seek the fourth victory of the cup. Corinthians were champions in 1995, 2002 and 2009. Flamengo lifted the trophy in 1990, 2006 and 2013.

This is the first time that the teams face each other in the final of the tournament. In fact, it is only the second duel between the two clubs with the biggest fans in the country in search of a cup. The only time had been in 1991, in the Supercopa do Brasil. The single game defined the best among the 1990 national champions: Corinthians had won the Brasileirão, and Flamengo, the Copa do Brasil. Timão made it 1 to 0.

Now, 31 years later, coach Vítor Pereira is trying to win his first cup in Brazil under Corinthians. To reach the final, Timão dispatched Portuguesa-RJ, Santos, Atlético-GO and Fluminense, always with good victories inside the Itaquera stadium.

Dorival Júnior reaches the third final of the Copa do Brasil, the previous two were played with Santos. He won in 2010, but ended up losing five years later. The competition, by the way, is the only one missing in continental territory for players who have been with the club since 2019 - in the period. Flamengo did not play the Sudamericana. To reach the final decision, the red-blacks eliminated Altos-PI, Atlético-MG, Athletico-PR and São Paulo.

Both teams have fully-fit groups for the final. I think Flamengo are the better side. They’ve not only played well in Copa do Brasil, but also demonstrate their values in Copa Liberatores. They have a better chance for today’s match.

Let’s back Flamengo.

本周三，科林蒂安和弗拉门戈将在巴西杯决赛的第一回合比赛中相遇。

两家俱乐部寻求本队第4次巴西杯夺冠。科林蒂安在1995年、2002年和2009年赢得冠军。弗拉门戈则在1990年、2006年和2013年捧起了奖杯。

这是两队第一次在大型赛事决赛中面对面。这是巴西国内拥有最多球迷的两家俱乐部，他们争夺冠军也仅仅是历史第二次。唯一的一次争冠是在1991年的巴西超级杯。这场比赛决定了1990年全国2个冠军里的佼佼者。科林蒂安赢得了巴甲，而弗拉门戈则赢得了巴西杯。科林蒂安在超级杯1比0取胜。

31年后的今天，主教练佩雷拉正试图赢得他执教科林蒂安的第一个奖杯。为了进入决赛，科林蒂安击败了葡萄牙人，桑托斯，戈亚尼亚竞技和弗卢米嫩塞，他们总是在自己的以它克塔体育场内取得精彩的胜利。

弗拉门戈主帅多里沃第三次率队进入巴西杯决赛，前两次都是执教桑托斯队。他在2010年赢得了冠军，但5年后再入决赛输了。顺便说一下，这项比赛是自2019年以来效力于弗拉门戈的球员在南美大陆唯一没有赢得过的荣誉（弗拉门戈在这段时间没有参加过南球杯）。弗拉门戈进入决赛的路上淘汰了阿尔托斯、米内罗竞技、巴拉纳竞技和圣保罗。

两支球队都有齐整的阵容出战决赛。我认为弗拉门戈是更好的一方。他们不仅在巴西杯中发挥出色，而且还在解放者杯中展示了他们的价值。 他们在今天的比赛中有更好的机会。

让我们支持弗拉门戈。
