Flamengo could finish with the best overall record in this year’s Libertadores group stage. With that in mind, the Rubro-Negro is optimistic about reaching that mark, as it faces Cusco (PER) and has a strong record against teams from that country. The match takes place this Tuesday (26).
In Libertadores history, Mengo has six wins, one draw, and 13 goals in seven matches against Peruvian teams. Across all competitions, however, the Most Beloved has an 81.3% success rate against Peruvians.
At the moment, Fla leads Group A and the overall standings in the continental competition with 13 points, the same total as Rosario Central (ARG) and Independiente Rivadavia (ARG). the Most Beloved comes out ahead on the tiebreakers.
Therefore, to secure the top spot in the standings, Fla needs to beat Cusco and hope the other contenders either do not win or fail to make up the goal difference. In addition, LDU (EQU) and Corinthians are also in the race, with 11 and 12 points respectively, but they would need all the teams tied at the top to slip up.
For the match against Cusco, Leonardo Jardim has selected: Andrew, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Saúl and De La Cruz; Plata, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Tuesday (26), at the Maracanã.
Flamengo’s final match in the Libertadores group stage will be broadcast on ESPN, the pay-TV channel. However, the best and most rubro-negro coverage is from Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube.
