🗞️ Team News: Flamengo

Erick Pulgar (Shoulder injury), Giorgian de Arrascaeta (Broken collarbone), Everton (Hip flexor problems) and Gonzalo Plata (Knee problems) are unavailable for Flamengo gaffer Leonardo Jardim. Danilo is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our opinion that Fla should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Jorginho, Evertton Araújo, Jorge Carrascal, Lucas Paquetá, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

ℹ️ Team News: Palmeiras

From our viewpoint, Verdão appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Carlos Miguel, Agustín Giay, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Arthur Gabriel, Andreas Pereira, Marlon Freitas, Allan, Mauricio, Jhon Arias and José Manuel López.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Palmeiras will likely create enough chances to put a goal past this Flamengo team, although it probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Flamengo at full-time. Definitely a tough call.
