Command Analysis

Flamengo

Current form
Flamengo are not living up to expectations in the Brazilian Serie A – Tite’s team was considered a clear contender for the championship title, but so far they are only fourth in the table. The “vultures” are eight points behind the leader Botafogo, with a game in hand. In the 1/8 finals of the Copa Libertadores, Flamengo dealt with Bolivar without any problems, without turning on the maximum speed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Everton, Matias Vina, Mitchell, Nicolas De la Cruz and Pedro are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Flamengo have not beaten Peñarol in their last two matches - a loss and a draw
- Flamengo are unbeaten in their last eight home games, with six wins and two draws.
Probable line-up : Rossi – Sandro, Perreira, Bruno, Varela – Gerson, Ortiz, Pulgar – Plata, Bruno Henrique, Luis Araujo.

Club Atletico Penarol

Current form
Peñarol found themselves in a very difficult group in the Copa Libertadores, where they were not initially considered a clear contender even for the second place. However, the “black and gold” showed their strongest side and scored 12 points in six rounds, losing first place to Atletico Mineiro, but ahead of Rosario Central by five points. In the 1/8 finals, Peñarol very easily dealt with Bolivian Strongest.

The visitors have no problems with their line-up.
Interesting trends for betting
- Peñarol have only managed to win one of their last three away matches
