đź“‹ Team News: Flamengo
Pedro (Forearm fracture) and Allan (Heel spur) won’t be available for Flamengo gaffer Filipe LuĂs.
It’s our opinion that Fla will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Agustin Rossi, Emerson Royal, LĂ©o Ortiz, LĂ©o Pereira, Ayrton, Nicolás De La Cruz, SaĂşl Ă‘Ăguez, Luiz Araujo, G. de Arrascaeta, Everton and Gonzalo Plata.
📰 Team News: Ceará
From a largely full-strength group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Ceará boss Leo Condé to contend with. Luiz Otávio (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Vovô seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Bruno Ferreira, Fabiano, Marcos Victor, Marllon, Nicolas Vichiatto, Vinicius Zanocelo, Dieguinho, Antonio Galeano, Lucas Mugni, Fernandinho and Pedro Raul.
✨ Prediction
It must be said that Ceará won’t have much of a chance to make much of an impression against a Flamengo outfit who will most probably boss every aspect of the game, should it unfold as we are expecting it to.
We predict a resounding 4-0 belting at the minimum for Flamengo at the end of the 90 minutes.
