Flamengo heads to the Ligga Arena with a one goal lead in this knockout game and they have their work very easy against Athletico Paranaense. Jorge Sampaoli’s team has been in very good form in the last few weeks and they have one foot in the semi finals already. Athletico Paranaense has had a poor start to the months and they are on the verge of elimination at home in the Copa do Brasil. My recommended betting pick in this game is an away win or draw for Flamengo. Here’s why you should bet on the visitors to win or draw;

FIRST REASON

Athletico Paranaense has failed to win a single game this month and they have played three matches since the start of July. The hosts have lost their last two games in all competitions and they have conceded in their last three games. Wesley Carvalho’s team has dropped in form and they have moved down the table in the last three games. Athletico Paranaense is not in the best of form to beat Flamengo and they are not going to have it easy against one of the best teams in Brazil. Flamengo has won four of their last five matches in all competitions and they are unbeaten this month. The visitors have a one goal lead to protect gear and their form in the last four weeks suggests that they can make it to the next round here. You should back the visitors to get another win over Athletico Paranaense or settle for a draw which takes them to the semi finals.

SECOND REASON

Flamengo has a much stronger team than the hosts and it was very evident in the first leg when both teams met at the Estadio Jornalista Mario. Jorge Sampaoli’s team was absolutely dominant in that performance as they created more chances than Athletico Paranaense and also had 75% of the ball possession. Flamengo is second in the league while Athletico Paranaense is 11th on the standings and the visitors have been better than the hosts in all competitions this season. Flamengo only needs a draw here and they can get the job done with a stronger team.

在这场淘汰赛中，弗拉门戈队带着一球的领先优势前往西甲竞技场，他们对帕拉纳斯竞技的比赛非常轻松。豪尔赫·桑保利的球队在过去几周的状态非常好，他们已经有机会进入半决赛了。巴拉纳斯竞技在这几个月里开局不佳，他们在巴西杯的主场比赛中处于被淘汰的边缘。在这场比赛中，我推荐的赌注是弗拉门戈的客场胜利或平局。以下是为什么你应该赌客队赢或平的原因;

第一个原因

帕拉纳塞竞技队本月一场比赛也没有赢，自7月初以来他们已经打了三场比赛。东道主在各项赛事中输掉了最近两场比赛，并且在最近三场比赛中都有失球。卡瓦略的球队状态不佳，在最近三场比赛中排名下滑。帕拉纳斯竞技并没有达到击败弗拉门戈的最佳状态，他们在对阵巴西最好的球队之一时也不会轻松。弗拉门戈在最近五场比赛中赢了四场，本月保持不败。客队在保护装备方面领先一球，他们在过去四周的状态表明他们可以进入下一轮比赛。你应该支持客队再赢一场帕拉纳斯竞技队，或者接受平局，让他们进入半决赛。

第二个原因

弗拉门戈是一支比东道主强大得多的球队，这一点在首回合两队在马里奥体育场相遇时就很明显了。豪尔赫·桑保利的球队在这场比赛中绝对占据统治地位，他们创造的机会比帕拉纳塞竞技更多，控球率也达到了75%。弗拉门戈在联赛中排名第二，帕拉纳塞竞技排名第11，客队在本赛季的各项比赛中都比主队表现更好。弗拉门戈只需要一场平局，他们可以用一支更强大的球队来完成任务。
