Betting on Flamengo
The Brazilian powerhouse comes into this game after a tough start in the previous match. In their match against Aucas from Ecuador, Fla lost 2-1, as the Ecuadorians’ determination was superior to the disproportionate and eccentric Brazilian squad.
The red-and-black team sits in the second place of the Brasileirão. However, the Brazilian domestic league started just a few days ago and there is still a long way to go. Even so, they had a dream debut, as they won comfortably 3-0 with many of their players getting on the scoresheet.
For the second matchday of Group A of this Copa Libertadores, it is expected that the local team will dominate the match with hierarchy and precision, honoring its extensive and renowned career, which has allowed it to be champion of this tournament twice in only four years.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Santos; Pablo, Rodrigo Caio, Filipe Luís; Wesley, Victor Hugo, Arturo Vidal, Marinho; Matheus França, Éverton Ribeiro; Gabriel Barbosa.
Betting on Nublense
On the other hand, Nublense has been struggling to achieve positive results in the first matchdays of its domestic league. The Chilean Club occupies the tenth place with a record of just three wins in ten games played. Although there are still many games left to be played, the outlook is not very encouraging for the club, and during their last matchday they lost to Coquimbo Unido by a score of 3-1.
Despite the team’s shortcomings, fans want to see the team celebrate in its first Copa Libertadores edition, since the Chileans come into this match after losing 2-0 at home to Racing in their tournament debut.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Nicola Pérez; Bernardo Cerezo, Rafael Caroca, Nicolás Zalazar; Raimundo Rebolledo, Juan Leiva, Manuel Rivera, Giovanni Campusano; Lorenzo Reyes; Patricio Rubio, Bayron Oyarzo.
JefeBet Prediction
Nublense did not have a good debut in this tournament, with several failures in defense and a lack of effectiveness and precision in the passes that cost them the first game. Flamengo, on the other hand, counts on a strong roster and is one of the teams best prepared to win the Copa Libertadores, so they will surely not hold anything back and will go on the attack from the opening whistle.
Although their debut left much to be desired, it is clear that things will be different at the Maracana and at JefeBet we believe that the home team will take all three points in this much anticipated Flamengo vs Nublense.
Prediction: Flamengo Moneyline (FLA 2-0 NUB).
