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.

Flamengo played a draw in their last league match against Grêmio, prioritizing their success in the Copa Libertadores over the league.

Given the difference in class, it’s unlikely that the Uruguayan side will manage to hold off the Brazilian giant for a second consecutive match.
We believe the hosts will find the net. Prediction – Flamengo's individual total to score over one goal. This bet is offered at odds of 1.85.

However, the narrow loss still keeps the chances for the Vultures to advance to the semifinals alive, and they hold a significant advantage in skill. Penarol is currently in good form and has already demonstrated its capabilities, but containing such an opponent in the second leg will be a tough challenge.
