The difference-makers

Flamengo. Pedro Guilherme carries the primary scoring responsibility for Flamengo, leaving the side heavily reliant on his output given that the remaining contributors sit at a considerable distance behind his goal tally.

Atletico MG. Atletico MG relies on the scoring distribution shared among Tomas Cuello, Reinier Jesus Carvalho, Bernard Anicio Caldeira Duarte, and Victor Hugo Gomes Silva to compensate for lacking a single dominant figure comparable to the host side's primary contributors.
