Flamengo host Atletico in the second leg, after the first leg finished 1-1. Flamengo's recent home form has been impressive. From 13 games they have won 10, drawn 2 and lost one. The one defeat though was a 4-2 loss to Atletico when Flamengo were 2-0 up after eight minutes.
Barring a repeat of that six-goal game, this looks like it should be a low-scoring game with the home team edging it. I'm backing Flamengo, 1-0, 2-0 and unders.
In the last 16 Flamengo lost 2-1 in the first leg and won the second 1-0 at home, in the QF they drew 1-1 at Botafoga and then won the second leg at home 4-0, in the semis they won 2-1 away and then 2-1 at home against Goias

I'm not saying they won't want to win but it's more important to Flamengo because of the Copa Lib place for the winner. Atletico are quite likely to qualify through their league position so it's not a disaster if they don't win the cup.

Point is both teams will clearly be giving it their all, I don't think motivation plays any factor here. Doesn't really matter if Flamengo have a little more on the line.

ponte preta 1-0 up at half-time and 4-1 on aggregate. three second half goals needed for sao paulo to take it to extra time. just had a nibble on over 3.5 because this game should get second half goals
