Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face off in the Libertadores semifinals in October. Before their continental tournament clash, both teams have domestic fixtures to play. This Monday (5), for example, the La Plata side takes on Gimnasia Mendoza (ARG) in the 11th round of the Argentine league.
For Flamengo fans who want to watch their Libertadores opponents in action, Estudiantes vs. Gimnasia Mendoza will air on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). Kickoff is at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata.
In the last round of the Argentine league, Estudiantes lost 2–1 to Lanús (ARG) in the tenth round. The La Plata side also suffered defeats in its two subsequent fixtures, in the International Super Cup and the Argentine Cup.
First, in the International Super Cup, Alexander ‘Cacique’ Medina’s team lost 3–1 to Rosario Central (ARG), missing out on the title. Then, in the Argentine Cup, Estudiantes lost 1–0 to Platense (ARG) in the quarterfinals, making an early exit from the competition.
Flamengo and Estudiantes square off in the Libertadores semifinals. The first leg takes place on October 15 (Thursday) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium. The return leg is scheduled for the 22nd of the same month (Thursday), also at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.
ESPN, on pay TV, and Disney+, via streaming, will exclusively broadcast the clashes with Estudiantes. In addition, Coluna do Fla will, as usual, be present at both matches, providing the best coverage with the strongest Flamengo focus.
Just as Estudiantes has Argentine league fixtures before taking the field in the Libertadores, Flamengo is no different. Leading the Brazilian league, the red-and-black side has two important domestic matches before turning its attention to its Argentine opponents.
The next match takes place this Thursday (8), when Flamengo visits Santos at Vila Belmiro. Then, on Sunday (11), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Fluminense at the Maracanã.
