Flamengo to make three changes against Racing, check out the line-ups | OneFootball

Flamengo is set for the upcoming clash against Racing from Argentina, in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores da América semifinals. The Rubro-Negro will have three changes in the starting lineup compared to the team that beat Palmeiras last Sunday.

Danilo appears among Filipe Luís’s starters, taking the place of Léo Ortiz, who suffered a right ankle strain in the match against Palmeiras. Although he trained with the squad and was included for the match, the number 3 will start on the bench.

On the right flank, Varela returns to the team, replacing Emerson Royal, while Carrascal joins the attack in place of Samuel Lino.

Flamengo Lineup

Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro; Pulgar and Jorginho; Carrascal, Arrascaeta, and Luiz Araújo; Pedro.

Racing Lineup

Racing, meanwhile, features the return of midfielder Sosa and forward Adrián Martínez. Both had physical issues in recent weeks and were rested from Argentine Championship matches.

Cambeses; Colombo, Rojo, and Santiago Sosa; Martirena, Zuculini, Almendra, Solari, and Rojas; Adrián Martínez and Conechny.

What to Expect from the Match

Flamengo arrives with greater squad depth and technical quality, but Racing is betting on tactical organization and Argentine intensity to balance the scales at Maracanã.
