📋 Team News: Flamengo

Due to a mostly available squad, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Flamengo manager Domènec Torrent to be concerned about. Giorgian de Arrascaeta (Muscle Injury) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Corinthians will need to push hard to register a score against this Flamengo outfit who we think will likely be able to grind out a win.

We’ve gone for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Flamengo at the end of the 90.

Should be a close one.
