Before the 2017 edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Bridgestone, the last time the teams faced each other in an international competition was in a match valid for the second phase of the 2011 Copa Sudamericana. Flamengo prevailed over their opponent, with Ronaldinho Gaúcho securing 1-0 victories in both the first leg, at the Engenhão stadium, and the second leg, played at the Arena da Baixada stadium.
The rematch of the 2013 Copa do Brasil title, which resulted in Flamengo's third championship in the competition, will determine the leader of Group 4.
