Lanús v Flamengo: live stream, head-to-head, probable line-ups | OneFootball

After securing a spot in the Carioca semifinals, Flamengo turns its attention to the Recopa Sudamericana. The cup that brings together the champions of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana of 2025 begins on Thursday night. The first leg against Lanús from Argentina will be at Estadio La Fortaleza, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Where to watch the game?

The match between Lanús and Flamengo will be broadcast live on ESPN/Star+ (cable TV) and the Disney + platform (streaming).

How is Flamengo doing?

On Argentine soil, the Rubro-Negro will seek an advantage for the return match, which will be on February 26 at Maracanã. Besides the trophy, a prize of 1.8 million dollars is at stake for the champion.

Flamengo won the title in 2020 by defeating Independiente del Valle from Ecuador. Lanús has one appearance in the history, in 2014, but was defeated by Atlético Mineiro. This will be the second title Flamengo competes for in 2026. Filipe Luis's team lost to Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil final and now seeks recovery with the Conmebol trophy.

The Rubro-Negro coach has absences and doubts for Thursday's match. Expelled in the Libertadores semifinal against Racing-ARG, forward Plata will not be able to play in Argentina. Other absences, due to physical reasons, are midfielders Jorginho and Saúl.

Forward Pedro was rested against Botafogo last Sunday but was not diagnosed with an injury and is doubtful. Similarly, defender Varela has recovered from an ankle injury. Both have been listed for the match but may remain as options on the bench.

How is Lanús doing?

On the Argentine side, Mauricio Pellegrino's team is coming off a streak of three matches without a win. In the last match, they were defeated 2-0 by Independiente in the Argentine Championship.

Lanús won the Sudamericana by defeating Atlético Mineiro in the final, on penalties. In the previous rounds, they eliminated two Brazilian teams, Vasco and Fluminense, both times with a home win and a draw in Rio de Janeiro.

Match history

The teams have faced each other only twice in history, and Lanús has never beaten Flamengo. One of the matches ended with a Rubro-Negro victory and the other in a draw.
