Flamengo faces one of the biggest challenges of the season in this decisive match against Peñarol. Needing a victory by two goals to avoid having to rely on penalties, Mais Querido enters the field without its main striker, Pedro, who was decisive on the occasions when the club opened this advantage in recent games. The last time CRF achieved a victory with two goals difference without the number 9 was in January, in the Campeonato Carioca, against Sampaio Corrêa.
Since then, eight months have passed, and the coach Tite is still looking for an offensive formation that maintains the effectiveness of the attack without Pedro. The striker suffered a serious injury at the beginning of September, and since then, Bruno Henrique has been improvised to perform his role. The information is from the MRN portal.
The last occasion in which Flamengo won by two goals without counting on Pedro was on January 31st, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Carioca Championship, against Sampaio Corrêa. In that game, played at the Mangueirão stadium, in Pará, Mengão triumphed 2-0, with goals from Gabigol and Bruno Henrique, both acting as substitutes for Pedro.
Interestingly, the attacker was on the bench and did not enter the field due to Tite's technical choice, who opted for an offensive trio made up of Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Gerson. In that match, Flamengo also had offensive reinforcements such as Matheus Gonçalves and Luiz Araújo, who entered in the second half to increase the team's firepower.
With Pedro out of action, Tite should bet on Bruno Henrique as a reference in the attack. Flamengo's probable lineup to face Peñarol includes: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Pulgar, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Gerson, Plata and Bruno Henrique. Mengão will seek to repeat January's success to guarantee classification and continue the season.
