Back in Bahia at the end of last month, Flamengo managed to do a lot with very little, scoring their only goal and still winning.
It is the second time in a row that they have led after the first leg of a Copa do Brasil quarter-final, and they have never been eliminated at this stage of the competition after winning the first game.
Throughout the tournament, they have been one of the hardest teams to break down defensively, conceding just one goal in five games.
Tite's men are unbeaten in their last six matches at the Maracana in all competitions, winning five of them.
Flamengo have suffered only one home defeat in the Copa do Brasil since the start of 2021, a 1-0 win over Sao Paulo in the first leg of the 2023 final, which the Rio side lost 2-1 on aggregate.
They have won nine consecutive games against Bahia and are unbeaten in their last 10 home encounters.
Despite their best efforts in the first leg, Bahia suffered their first defeat in the Copa do Brasil this year.
It leaves them on the brink of a second successive exit at this stage of the competition, having been knocked out on penalties by Gremio in the quarter-finals a year ago.
Rogerio Ceni's men are winless in their last three competitive outings, failing to find the back of the net on two occasions.
Losing the first leg of a tie in this tournament does not bode well for them, as they have never progressed from a two-legged tie after losing the first.
In their last five away games, Bahia have won just once, beating Gremio 2-0 in the Brasileiro Serie A earlier this year.
Bahia have not beaten Flamengo at the Maracana since a 3-1 triumph in the 2011 domestic season.
Flamengo possible starting lineup:
Cunha; Varela, Bruno, Luiz, Ayrton; Pulgar, Ortiz; L. Araujo, Carlinhos, Gerson; Henrique
Bahia possible starting lineup:
Felipe; Arias, Xavier, Kanu, Juba; Alexandre; L. Rodriguez, Lucas; Cauly; Everaldo, Thaciano
Prediction:Flamengo 1-0 Bahia (Flamengo advance 2-0 on aggregate)
