It’s a Copa Libertadores night for Flamengo and Estudiantes.

TV Globo and Paramount+ will broadcast it.

Flamengo ⚫🔴

The Rubro-Negro lead the group with seven points from three matches, but they are expected to be awarded a 3-0 win by forfeit over Independiente Medellín because of the incidents in the match that ended up being suspended.

There is still no exact date for Conmebol’s decision.

A win will secure qualification.

Leonardo Jardim will once again have Evertton Araújo and Jorginho available, after they served suspensions in the Brasileirão.

Luiz Araújo will start after being cleared to deal with personal matters.

Pulgar and Plata could have been included in the squad, but remain out. 

Varela and Alex Sandro will start on the bench. 

Estudiantes 🇦🇷

The Argentine side have been focused on the Libertadores since the 10th, as they were eliminated by Racing in the Apertura round of 16.

They are currently second in the group and will be in a strong position to qualify with a win.

Alexander “Cacique” Medina has virtually his strongest lineup available.

The doubt is in the makeup of the defensive line.

Tiago Palacios, Benedetti and Carrillo are the main weapons.

The lineup has not yet been officially announced.
