Flamengo prep for Grêmio after Libertadores game is called off | OneFootball

Flamengo’s next match will take place in Porto Alegre

Flamengo took the field against Independiente Medellín (COL) on Thursday (07), in the fourth round of the Libertadores. However, the match did not go beyond 10 minutes of play due to protests from the Colombian fans. After the game was called off, the Rubro-Negro delegation traveled to Porto Alegre.

As a result, the Flamengo squad begins preparations for the match against Grêmio on Friday afternoon (08). Already in Porto Alegre, the Most Beloved will use Internacional’s training center facilities to practice. The first session focused on the Rio Grande do Sul side is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM (Brasília time).

For the match, Flamengo will have only two training sessions at Internacional’s training center. However, the Rubro-Negro players head into the clash more “rested,” since there was no game against Independiente Medellín on Thursday (07).

What could happen in the Libertadores?

In short, Flamengo traveled to Colombia to face Independiente Medellín in the fourth round of the Libertadores. However, there was no football match due to protests from the home team’s supporters. As a result, the tendency is for Conmebol to award Fla a walkover win, as well as a 3-0 scoreline.

Thus, considering the win over Independiente Medellín, Flamengo has secured qualification for the round of 16. That is because only Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) still has a chance to overtake the Most Beloved in the standings. It is worth noting that Medellín still has a chance to reach ten points, but the first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, and Fla has the edge.

What is Fla’s next match?

Finally, Flamengo faces Grêmio this Sunday (10). The teams will meet in Porto Alegre at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) in the 15th round of the Brasileirão, with live coverage on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
