After a losing effort in their last game against Cruzeiro in Serie A action, Flamengo and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Flamengo has become apparent of late. Examining their last 6 outings reveals that it has occurred 5 times. During those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal aggregate of 1 while Flamengo have scored 12. That aside, we must now wait to see if the trend might be replicated in this next game.

🗞️ Team News: Central Córdoba

The Central Córdoba boss Omar de Felippe does not have any fitness worries at all coming into this clash owing to a fully injury-free squad to pick from.

It’s our opinion that El Ferroviario will possibly use a 5-3-2 system this time with Alan Aguerre, Lucas Abascia, Lautaro Rivero, Jonathan Galvan, Santiago Moyano, Braian Cufre, Leonardo Heredia, Nicolas Quagliata, Jose Florentin, Matias Perello and Luis Miguel Angulo.

🗞️ Team News: Flamengo

Flamengo manager Filipe Luís has to choose a team with limited availability. Everton (Calf injury), Matías Viña (Knee injury) and Gonzalo Plata (Knee problems) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

There’s a good chance that Fla seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Agustin Rossi, Danilo, Leo Pereira, Wesley, Ayrton Lucas, Erick Pulgar, Nicolas de la Cruz, Gerson, G. De Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Central Córdoba will have to work hard as a team to find the net against this Flamengo lineup who will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re going for a narrow 0-1 victory for Flamengo at the conclusion of the game.

Should be interesting.
