The gap between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín (COL), currently in third place, is five points. However, if they beat Estudiantes, Mais Querido will move to nine points and open up an eight-point lead over the Colombian side.

Independiente Medellín, however, still have to face Cusco (PER) in the third round of the group stage. Therefore, the best result for Flamengo in that matchup would be a draw, as it would keep the Colombian team in third place and seven points behind in the standings.

Does Flamengo have any absences for the match against Estudiantes?

At the moment, Flamengo have three absences for the clash with Estudiantes: Erick Pulgar, Léo Pereira and Paquetá. The midfielders are under the care of the Medical Department, with no return date set. Meanwhile, Léo Pereira is recovering from a cut on his leg and will not be available for Leonardo Jardim.

What time is the Flamengo vs. Estudiantes match?

Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) starting at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, in Argentina, for the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and by Paramount+ via streaming.
