📋 Team News: Flamengo

Everton (Hip flexor problems) and Giorgian de Arrascaeta (Broken collarbone) won’t be available for Flamengo boss Leonardo Jardim.

It’s our opinion that Fla may well go for a 4-3-3 system for the game, handing starts to Andrew, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitao, Ayrton Lucas, Saul Niguez, Evertton Araujo, Nicolas de la Cruz, Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araujo.

📰 Team News: Cusco

Owing to a completely injury-free squad to choose from, the Cusco boss does not have any fitness concerns to report before this game.

We believe Cusco seem most likely to utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation, starting the game with Andy Vidal, Marlon Ruidias, Carlos Gamarra, Jose Zevallos, Lucas Colitto, Aldair Fuentes, Carlos Diez, Gabriel Carabajal, Diego Soto, Nicolas Silva and Jose Manzaneda.

🔮 Prediction

It would appear that Cusco won’t have much of a chance to make much of an impression against a Flamengo outfit who have the quality to win very well indeed here.

We’re expecting a thumping 4-0 victory with possibly more for Flamengo when all is said and done.
