One of Flamengo's standout players in this Brazilian Championship, full-back Léo Moura expects a tough match against Ipatinga, who are in the relegation zone.

"Ipatinga is strong at home. It'll be a tough match, and we have to be careful. They want to escape this uncomfortable position in the standings."

The number 2 gives the recipes for the red-black team to achieve a positive result.

"We have to be smart. Flamengo is an experienced team. We won't play too defensively, and we have to take advantage of opportunities when they arise."
