Tuesday night in the Libertadores round of 16 saw two spots decided on penalties and two Brazilians involved. Internacional took out River Plate, and Athletico-PR fell to Bolívar. To avoid such suffering, Flamengo plays for a draw on Thursday, at 9 pm, against Olimpia, at Defensores del Chaco.


And penalty shootouts have not been a prosperous path for the current generation, one of the most victorious in history. flamingo history. From 2019 onwards, there were nine decisions at the lime mark, and only four red-black victories. The numbers are from ge Statistical Spy. Therefore, it is good to scare away the bad phase, the troubled moment and decide to stop in normal time.


The most tasty memory is the title of the Copa do Brasil, won in October of last year, against Corinthians. It was up to Rodinei to beat the penalty that made Maracanã celebrate the tetra. The biggest sadness is perhaps the Recopa Sul-Americana in February, in the same stadium. The idol Arrascaeta, hero of the extra time, opened the series losing, and Independiente Del Valle converted all five.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.


Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.


LINEUP AND POSSIBLE CHANGES


Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.

It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.


FLAMENGO WILL HAVE A CHALLENGE

With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
