📰 Team News: Flamengo

Bruno Henrique (Inflammation of pubic bone), Saúl Ñíguez (Heel injury) and Alex Sandro (Thigh problems) are unavailable for Flamengo gaffer Leonardo Jardim. Erick Pulgar cannot play in this game through suspension.

It seems likely that Fla may well use a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton, Evertton Araújo, Jorginho, Lucas Paquetá, G. de Arrascaeta, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

📰 Team News: Santos

It’s our belief that Peixe appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Gabriel Brazão, Adonis Frías, Lucas Verissimo, Luan Peres, Gonzalo Escobar, Gustavo Henrique, Christian Oliva, Alvaro Barreal, Gabriel Bontempo, Moisés and Gabriel Barbosa.

💭 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Flamengo are likely to dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

Conversely, Santos won’t find it easy finding the net themselves although we do think it’s probable that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Flamengo come full-time.
