Racing x Flamengo: how the teams arrive
Flamengo arrives under pressure after losing, at the weekend, to Fortaleza – who are in the Z4 of the Brasileirão. The team led by Filipe Luís had ups and downs in the Libertadores: they had an irregular group stage, eliminated Internacional in the round of 16 with authority, but struggled in the quarterfinals against Estudiantes-ARG, advancing only on penalties.
Racing, in turn, has not entered the field since the first leg at Maracanã. Gustavo Costas’ team had a solid campaign: they were leaders of Group E with 13 points and the third best overall score. In the knockout stage, they eliminated Peñarol-URU and Vélez-ARG, winning all four matches. In the last six games, they have two wins, two draws and two defeats.
