Libertadores tonight: Flamengo v Estudiantes, LDU v São Paulo | OneFootball

Two matches conclude the first leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals

The Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (18) to face Estudiantes (ARG), for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. In addition to the clash between Brazilians and Argentinians, LDU (EQU) and São Paulo will also kick off the knockout stage.

What are the Libertadores matches this Thursday?

Thus, the first match this Thursday (18) will be between LDU and São Paulo, at 7pm (Brasília time), at Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium. It is worth mentioning that the winner of the clash will face Palmeiras or River Plate (ARG) in the semi-finals of the Libertadores.

Immediately afterwards, at 9:30pm (Brasília time), the Flamengo hosts Estudiantes (ARG), at Maracanã, with the promise of a packed stadium by the rubro-negra fans. In the semi-finals, the team that advances will duel with Racing (ARG) or Vélez Sarsfield (ARG).

How is Flamengo doing?

The Flamengo has only one confirmed absence to face Estudiantes: Erick Pulgar. The Chilean is still recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered during the Club World Cup.

On the other hand, Jorginho and Alex Sandro are doubts for coach Filipe Luís. This is because the players no longer have muscle pain complaints, but are still not 100% conditioned. Therefore, the decision to relate the athletes will be up to the coach.

When will the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes be?

The first leg match between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place at 9:30pm (Brasília time) this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. Immediately afterwards, the return match will be on the 25th, at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium.

Thus, as usual, the Coluna do Fla will bring all the coverage of the match, through the YouTube, the website and the social networks. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes.
