Prediction

  • Thursday night sees a clash of the titans as Three-time Copa Libertadores champions host Five-time winners Penarol.
  • Flamengo had Agustin Rossi to thank in their last Libertadores game as his eight saves out of nine across the tie kept Bolivar at bay in a 2-1 aggregate win. Since their progression, the Rubro Negro have earned a spot in the Copa do Brasil Semi-Finals and have gone unbeaten in three out of four league matches. Their most recent display saw them draw 1-1 with rivals Vasco da Gama.
  • Penarol's 4-0 blitz of The Strongest in the first leg of their last 16 tie was enough to see them progress 4-1 on aggregate. They will be hoping to keep in the tie and use the home atmosphere in the second leg to get them through. Since the second leg defeat, Penarol have played twice winning both matches, most recently a 4-0 battering of Rampla Juniors.
  • When the sides met in the Group Stage in 2019, Penarol ran out 1-0 winners at home, before a 0-0 draw in Uruguay. The Rubro Negro subsequently went on to lift the trophy that season.
