With this scenario, if Fluminense draw or lose, they will already be eliminated from the Libertadores. In addition, in this round, Flu can only overtake Bolívar if they win by a three-goal margin, thus gaining the advantage in the head-to-head record.
Therefore, the only result that matters to Fluminense is beating Bolívar at the Maracanã. In addition, they need to win by three or more goals to depend only on themselves in the final round of the group stage.
Flamengo are well on course to qualify in the Libertadores and face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20) at the Maracanã. The match is scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in the fifth round of the group stage.
