Flamengo and Racing (ARG) begin their Libertadores clash this Wednesday (22)


Flamengo continues its preparation to face Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22), in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinals. Looking to gain an advantage in the clash, Mengão will have to overcome the good form of the Argentine team in 2025.

This is because, in the last ten games of Racing in the 2025 season, the Argentine team has six wins, two draws, and two losses. In other words, Gustavo Costas' club has a 66.7% success rate in recent matches.

How is Racing arriving for the game?

Despite the good form this season, Racing faces some difficulties to play against Flamengo. After all, the Argentine team has four confirmed absences for the first leg at Maracanã.

Alan Forneris (knee sprain), Gabriel Rojas (right thigh), Franco Pardo (left thigh), and Elias Torres (knee ligament) are under the care of the Medical Department. Thus, the players will not be able to visit Flamengo this Wednesday (22).

And Flamengo?

Flamengo, for now, has one confirmed absence for the first leg against Racing. This is because, in the 3-2 victory over Palmeiras, Léo Ortiz suffered a sprain in his left ankle. However, the defender will try to be available for the match in Argentina.

Moreover, Flamengo has recovered in the Brasileirão and won the last two games of the season, against Botafogo and Palmeiras. With this, Filipe Luís' team matched the São Paulo club in points and continues to chase the championship lead.

When do Flamengo and Racing face each other?

The first leg between Flamengo and Racing takes place this Wednesday (22), for the Libertadores semifinals. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing game.
