In the ongoing national competition, Athletico Paranaense and Flamengo are set to face each other for the fifth consecutive season. Their recent encounters include the 2020 and 2022 quarterfinals, where Flamengo emerged victorious in both, as well as the 2013 Copa do Brasil. However, Athletico had their moment of triumph in 2019 when they eliminated Flamengo in the quarterfinals and went on to win the title.

In their quest for a spot in the Copa do Brasil semi-finals, defending champions Flamengo will take on Athletico Paranaense in the first leg of the quarterfinals at the Maracana Stadium. Flamengo aims to gain an advantage in the home leg before traveling to Curitiba for the return fixture, while Athletico hopes to halt Flamengo's defense of the national knockout competition.

Last year, Flamengo overcame Athletico Paranaense in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals and eventually clinched the title by defeating Corinthians in the final via a penalty shootout. Having advanced to the last-16 stage this season with a 2-0 win against Fluminense, Flamengo finds themselves in a familiar position against Athletico once again.

Flamengo currently holds a five-point lead over Athletico in the Campeonato Brasileiro standings, sitting third after 13 rounds. They recently secured a 2-0 victory against Fortaleza, marking their fourth win in five competitions. With an impressive attacking prowess, scoring the most goals in the league, Flamengo will rely on their firepower to dominate the match.

Athletico Paranaense, although positioned six places below Flamengo in the Serie A standings, achieved top spot in their Copa Libertadores group with a convincing 3-0 victory over Allianza Lima. They managed to salvage a draw against Palmeiras in the Brasileiro, extending their unbeaten streak to three games. With interim coach Wesley Carvalho implementing a more progressive approach, Athletico aims to claim their second Copa do Brasil crown.

Both teams face a busy schedule in July, and squad rotation is expected. Flamengo may see the return of David Luiz in defense and Victor Hugo in midfield, while star players Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Gabriel Barbosa are set to lead the attack. Athletico will rely on their goalkeeper Bento, who made impressive saves in his recent appearance, and will deploy their favored back three formation.

In terms of availability, Flamengo has a few players injured, including Matheuzinho, Matheus Franca, and Arturo Vidal. Athletico has a relatively healthy squad, with only Fernando, Thiago Andrade, and Romulo sidelined due to injury.

Both teams are determined to secure victory in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, with Flamengo seeking to defend their title and Athletico aiming to dethrone them. The first leg will be an intense encounter between the two sides at the Maracana, followed by a series of important fixtures for Athletico in the coming weeks.

Backing the hosts in Brazil is the right call. Good luck!

在正在进行的全国联赛中，帕拉纳斯竞技队和弗拉门戈队将连续第五个赛季交手。他们最近的交锋包括2020年和2022年的四分之一决赛，弗拉门戈在这两场比赛中都取得了胜利，以及2013年的巴西杯。然而，竞技队在2019年迎来了他们的胜利时刻，他们在四分之一决赛中淘汰了弗拉门戈队，并赢得了冠军。

卫冕冠军弗拉门戈将在四分之一决赛首回合在马拉卡纳体育场迎战帕拉纳斯竞技，以争夺巴西杯半决赛的席位。弗拉门戈的目标是在主场取得优势，然后前往库里蒂巴进行回归比赛，而竞技希望阻止弗拉门戈在全国淘汰赛中的防守。

去年，弗拉门戈队在巴西杯1 / 4决赛中战胜了帕拉纳斯竞技队，并在决赛中通过点球大战击败了科林蒂安队，最终获得了冠军。本赛季以2:0战胜弗鲁米嫩塞晋级16强后，弗拉门戈再次面对竞技竞技。

目前，弗拉门戈在巴西足球联赛积分榜上领先竞技队5分，在13轮比赛后排名第三。他们最近以2比0战胜了福塔莱萨，这是他们五场比赛中的第四场胜利。凭借令人印象深刻的进攻能力，在联赛中进球最多，弗拉门戈将依靠他们的火力来统治比赛。

帕拉纳塞竞技虽然在意甲积分榜上比弗拉门戈低6个位次，但在解放者杯小组赛中以3-0完胜利马联盟队，夺得小组头名。他们设法挽回了在巴西与帕尔梅拉斯的平局，将他们的不败纪录延长到了三场。随着临时教练韦斯利·卡瓦略(Wesley Carvalho)实施更先进的方法，竞技队的目标是夺取他们的第二个巴西杯冠军。

这两支球队在7月份都将面临繁忙的赛程，预计球队将进行轮换。弗拉门戈可能会看到大卫·路易斯在后防线和维克多·雨果在中场的回归，而明星球员乔治·德·阿拉斯卡埃塔和加布里埃尔·巴博萨将领导进攻。竞技队将依靠他们的门将本托，他在最近的比赛中做出了令人印象深刻的扑救，并将部署他们喜欢的三后卫阵型。

就可用性而言，弗拉门戈有几名球员受伤，包括马特乌齐尼奥、弗朗卡和维达尔。竞技队拥有一支相对健康的球队，只有费尔南多、安德拉德和罗慕洛因伤缺阵。

两支球队都决心在巴西杯四分之一决赛中取得胜利，弗拉门戈队试图卫冕冠军，而竞技队的目标是推翻他们。首回合将是双方在马拉卡纳球场的激烈交锋，接下来几周马德里竞技将有一系列重要的比赛。
