Flamengo

Flamengo, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-0 Copa Libertadores success vs LDU Quito.
In that game, Flamengo had 63% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Flamengo, the scorers were Léo Ortiz (10') and Luiz Araújo (54'). For their opponents, LDU Quito got 3 shots at goal with 0 on target.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Flamengo rearguard. Flamengo have given the opposition little, seeing the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 clashes standing at 3. That being said, time will tell whether the trend will be replicated in this upcoming game.
