Flamengo host Vitoria in Serie A, with the Rubro-Negro looking to build on a mixed run of results in Brazil's top flight.
Leonardo Jardim's side sit second in the table and have drawn their last two league matches, against Internacional and São Paulo, after a dominant 4-0 win at Chapecoense earlier in July. They have the quality to control games at home, but consistency has been elusive in recent weeks.
Vitoria arrive in difficult form. Jair Ventura's side have lost three of their last five matches, including a 4-0 defeat to Palmeiras in Serie A, and sit 13th in the standings. They did beat Athletico Paranaense 4-0 in the Copa do Brasil just days ago, but that result came after a 2-0 loss in the first leg, adding a layer of complexity to their momentum.
The head-to-head record between these two sides is firmly in Flamengo's favour. The Rio giants thrashed Vitoria 8-0 in Serie A last season, and have won four of the last five meetings across all competitions.
For Vitoria, the challenge is to show that cup result was a sign of genuine recovery rather than a one-off. For Flamengo, three points would tighten their grip on the top two and keep pressure on the sides above them.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Flamengo vs Vitoria, including TV channel details, live stream options, and kick-off time.
