Command Analysis

Club Atletico Penarol

Current Form

Penarol was not seen as a serious contender for a playoff spot in the Copa Libertadores group stage, yet they continue to impress and stand one step away from the semifinals. After advancing from the group stage in second place, Diego Aguirre's team faced no difficulties against The Strongest in the Round of 16, and in the first leg of the quarterfinals, they sensationally defeated Flamengo 1-0 in Rio de Janeiro.

Injuries and Suspensions

The hosts have no issues with their lineup.

Betting Trends

Penarol has won their last four matches
In the last three matches, Penarol has not conceded a goal

Projected Lineup: Aguirre – Milans, Mendes, Rodriguez, Oliveiras – Garcia, Darias, Cabrera, Fernandez, Baez – Silvera.

Flamengo

Current Form

Flamengo was considered one of the top contenders for the Copa Libertadores title even before the group stage began and the team under Tite is living up to that reputation. However, a 0-1 home defeat to Penarol in their opening match has complicated things significantly for the 'Reds'. In the Brazilian Serie A, Flamengo is in the title race but currently sits in fourth place in the standings.
