Flamengo will have the support of the Nation in search of a Libertadores victory

The ball is about to roll for the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20), in the fifth round of the Libertadores. In search of another win in the tournament, the Rubro-Negro will have the unconditional support of the Nation, which promises to pack the Maracanã once again.

What is the situation in Libertadores Group A?

Flamengo currently remain at the top of Libertadores Group A with seven points earned. Next comes Estudiantes, with six points. Finally, Independiente Medellín (COL) and Cusco (PER) occupy the bottom two spots, with four and one point, respectively.

In other words, a win this Wednesday (20) will guarantee top spot in Libertadores Group A for Flamengo. That is because, with only one round of the tournament left to be played, Estudiantes will not be able to overtake Mengão.

Do Flamengo have one fewer match in the Libertadores?

Flamengo have played one fewer match than Estudiantes and Cusco in the Libertadores. That is because the match against Independiente Medellín was canceled after protests by the Colombian fans. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro are hoping to be awarded a walkover win by Conmebol.
