Due to a completely healthy squad to pick from, Flamengo boss Domènec Torrent has no fitness worries whatsoever before this game.

It’s our belief that Fla could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Gabriel Batista, Mauricio Isla, Rodrigo Caio, Léo Pereira, Filipe, Éverton Ribeiro, Willian Arao, Thiago Maia, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro.

🧠 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Fluminense will have their work cut out to register a score against this Flamengo outfit who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Our tip is therefore for a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Flamengo at the end of the match.

There should be little in it.
