- 弗拉门戈队在过去的六场比赛中，仅在一场比赛中就进了不止一球
- 库亚巴在过去的17场意甲比赛中只赢了两场，连续输了9场
- 东道主在最近十场联赛中有九场没有得分，包括最近五场
库亚巴可能深陷关键的冲突
意甲冠军开始超出弗拉门戈的范围，博塔弗戈在剩下的五场比赛中以9分之差领先菲利佩·路易斯的球队，因此巴西杯冠军的重点现在将是确保进入前四。
他们在本轮比赛中排名第四，但会保持警惕，因为国际米兰和圣保罗的得分相同，圣保罗只差两分，排在第六位。
在库亚巴的胜利将离他们的目标还有一段距离，但随着东道主卷入一场艰苦的保级战，弗拉门戈队可能不得不努力取得任何积极的结果，对抗一支希望挫败客队以获得关键分数的球队。
弗拉门戈面临严峻考验
库亚巴进入第二轮，安全得分8分，这表明他们可能会对更有天赋的客队采取防守策略，他们的队伍中有大卫·路易斯、卡洛斯·阿尔卡雷斯和亚历克斯·桑德罗等球员。
考虑到东道主在过去的十场联赛中有九场失利，这种方法似乎也是他们得分的唯一希望。
然而，他们擅长挫败最好的球队，正如上次他们与意甲领头羊博塔弗戈0-0战平所表明的那样。
在Cuiaba的最后五场比赛中，1.5球以下是获胜的赌注，可能会再次登陆，任何潜在的弗拉门戈胜利都可能通过一个单独的进球获得。
- Flamengo have scored more than once in just one of their last six games
- Cuiaba have won only two of their last 17 Serie A games, losing nine times in that sequence
- The hosts have failed to score in nine of their last ten league games, including each of the last five
Cuiaba could sit deep in crucial clash
The Serie A title is beginning to look beyond Flamengo’s reach, with Botafogo nine points clear of Filipe Luis’ men with five games remaining, so the focus for the Copa do Brasil champions will now be securing a top-four finish.
They are sat fourth heading into this round of fixtures but will be wary knowing Internacional are on the same tally and Sao Paulo are just two points back in sixth.
A win at Cuiaba would go some distance towards their goal but with the hosts embroiled in a gruelling relegation battle, Flamengo may have to work hard for any positive result against a side who will be looking to frustrate their visitors in a bid to earn a crucial point.
Flamengo face a tough test
Cuiaba entered the round second-bottom and eight points off safety, suggesting a defensive approach may be employed against their far more talented visitors, who have the likes of David Luiz, Carlos Alcarez and Alex Sandro amongst their ranks.
Given the hosts have blanked in nine of their last ten league games, that approach looks to be their only hope of a point too.
However, they are adept at frustrating the best sides, as shown by their 0-0 draw with the Serie A leaders, Botafogo, last time.
Under 1.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of Cuiaba’s last five matches and could land again, with any potential Flamengo win likely to be earned via a solitary goal.
