Flamengo have won South America’s premier club competition on two occasions – in 1981 and 2019 – but they came agonisingly close to claiming the silverware last term.
In another all-Brazilian final, they went to extra time with Palmeiras after Gabriel Barbosa cancelled out Raphael Veiga’s opener, but a Deyverson winner in the 95th minute left Flamengo empty-handed. While Renato Gaucho led Flamengo into last year’s final, it is the turn of Dorival Junior, who is in his third spell in charge of the club after taking over from Paulo Sousa in June.

They have had mixed results on home turf of late and will hope to maximise their home advantage on Sunday. Flamengo, meanwhile, are on a three-game winning streak and have lost just one of their last eight games across competitions. They are clear favourites for this one and should come out on top.
