The top spot in Group A of the Copa Libertadores is on the line. Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) meet in the third round of the competition in a battle for first place. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Uno, in La Plata, this Wednesday (29). Coach Leonardo Jardim has selected the team as follows.
Starters: Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitão and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique.
Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Ayrton Lucas, De La Cruz, Saúl, Carrascal, Cebolinha, Plata, Pedro and Wallace Yan
As has been the case since Leonardo Jardim began his work, Flamengo does not field the same team from one match to the next. As a result, the Rubro-Negro has made important changes compared to the starting XI that thrashed Atlético-MG in the last round of the Brasileirão.
One of them, however, is due to medical advice. Center back Léo Pereira did not even travel to La Plata because of a cut on his leg and is expected to be available against Vasco next Sunday (03) in the Brasileirão. Therefore, Danilo was chosen to start.
Flamengo leads Group A of the Libertadores with six points from two matches. Estudiantes comes next with four. Currently outside the qualification zone for the round of 16 are Independiente Medellín (COL), with one, and Cusco (PER), with none.
The match between Flamengo and Estudiantes will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air) across almost all of Brazil, except São Paulo and Paraná, where Cerro Porteño (PAR) vs Palmeiras will be shown. In addition, Paramount Plus will stream the clash between the four-time Libertadores champions.
However, the best and most rubro-negra coverage is from Coluna do Fla. On the website, social media, and YouTube, our outlet will bring all the information on the match, with exclusive videos and coach Leonardo Jardim’s press conference.
