Maringá get ready to welcome Flamengo for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
These teams have little in common geographically as Flamengo have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carioca 1. That game was also an away game, at Fluminense. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
