Flamengo is preparing for one of the most important clashes of the season this Thursday (26), when they will face Peñarol in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The match, scheduled for 7pm (Brasília time), will be held at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. After losing the first game 1-0, Rubro-Negro needs a victory by two goals to guarantee direct classification. In the event of a tie on the aggregate score, the place will be decided on penalties.
EXPECTATION FOR LÉO ORTIZ'S RETURN TO THE HOME TEAM
One of the most anticipated points for the match is the possible return of Léo Ortiz to the starting lineup. The player, who has been improvised as a midfielder, trained among the starters and should occupy the role of a classic '5' shirt, playing alongside De La Cruz in midfield. Ortiz, who is originally a defender, has stood out as a midfielder and has established himself as a fundamental player in the second half of the season.
In the first match against Peñarol, Ortiz started on the bench by decision of coach Tite, but this time he should have the chance to start among the 11, reinforcing the team in a decisive duel for Mengão's aspirations in the continental tournament.
PROBABLE SQUAD FOR MENGÃO
A The expectation is that CRF enter the field with: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Léo Ortiz, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Gerson, Bruno Henrique and Plata. This formation, led by Tite, aims to increase the team's offensive strength and overcome Peñarol's solid defense, which secured the advantage in the first match.
FLAMENGO NEEDS TO REVERSE THE SCORE With a 1-0 defeat at Maracanã, Mengão enters the field needing a convincing victory. If you win by a goal difference, the decision will be taken to penalties. However, a two-goal victory guarantees direct qualification to the semi-finals, without the need for extra time or penalty shootouts.
Victory over Internacional in the Libertadores puts Mengão above the main teams in European football, such as the Spanish team and the French champions.
