Lanus - Flamengo: betting tip (cf 2.05) for the South American Champions match (February 20, 2026) from UPU

Lanus did not approach the South American Super Cup in a good mood. We failed to win in the last three matches, and in the last one we lost against Independiente (0:2). The statistics in that match are depressing. Five shots were struck, while not a single hit was on target, and the expected goals (xG) did not even reach 0.20 (0.16). In principle, the failed offensive game is understandable, because Castillo (the team's best goalkeeper), on whom the entire attacking line is based, is injured. The head coach in the person of Mauricio Pellegrino will have to think about which squad to release against a powerfully attacking opponent. 

Flamengo had problems in late January and early February, when the unbeaten streak lasted four matches in a row. On the eighth, the club began a winning streak that lasts for three consecutive games. However, it is impossible to ignore the fact that there are gaps in the defensive line, because it was impossible to defend at zero in the last eight matches. Nevertheless, the bookmakers have no doubt that Flamengo will be the winner of the match, because they make him the clear favorite.
