In search of another victory in the Carioca Championship, o Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (08), when it faces Fluminense, Maracanã. with de la Cruz. However, the coach intends to send to the field the best available. The likely flamengo lineup
Rossi; Wesley, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Allan (Everton Araújo) and Gerson; Luiz Araújo (Arrascaeta), Bruno Henrique and Plata.
In load control established by the medical department, La Cruz will be left out of the classic. For the seat of the steering wheel, Allan and Evertton Araújo dispute the position.
In addition, Filipe Luís projects a new change in the starting lineup, now in the attack. In the initial 11 that won the Super Cup against Botafogo, Michael should not start the confrontation with Fluminense. Thus, Luiz Araújo and Arrascaeta dispute the position.
No Mais , the base that won from Botafogo follows among the initial 11 for the game against Fluminense: Rossi; Wesley, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Allan (Everton Araújo) and Gerson; Luiz Araújo (Arrascaeta), Bruno Henrique and Plata. Therefore, with these doubts, Gerson can do two functions.
Case Filipe Luís opt for Luiz Araújo, the joker will play more centralized, doing the function of shipowner. On the other hand, if the coach chooses Arrascaeta, the captain will act more on the right side, as happened in the Super Cup, doing 'double' with Wesley in this field area.

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.
