How Flamengo arrives for the match

The 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul, from Mexico, and the team's good performance brought confidence to the group coached by Filipe Luis. Concerned about player fatigue, the coach may make some changes to the starting lineup. Center-back Danilo, full-backs Emerson Royal and Ayrton Lucas, midfielder Saul, and forwards Everton Cebolinha and Luiz Araújo are candidates for a spot in the starting eleven.

The big expectation regarding the team is the possible use of striker Pedro. The player has recovered from a fracture in his right arm and a muscle injury in his thigh, but is not expected to start.

“Our opponent rested to play this game and we didn’t. We have to find a competitive, solid, and fresh team,” highlighted Filipe Luis in a press conference.

How Pyramids arrives for the match

On the other side, Pyramids had to play through two previous rounds to qualify for the tournament, overcoming Auckland City from New Zealand and Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia along the way.

The team coached by Croatian Krunoslav Jurcic arrives in good form, with five unbeaten matches and second place in the Egyptian Championship.

Pyramids, founded in 2008, has already been coached by Brazilian Alberto Valentim and had striker Keno, now at Fluminense, in its squad. Currently, it features striker Ewerton, who has been at the club since September.

But the main highlights of the team are indeed Egyptians: striker Mostafa Mohamed Zaki Abdelraouf, 28 years old, and midfielder Mahmoud Abdelaati, 32, nicknamed Zico and Dunga, respectively.
