About this match

**Flamengo host Cruzeiro in a Libertadores grudge match at the Maracanã**, and these two just can't seem to break the deadlock — they drew 1-1 the last time they met. 🔥

Both sides are rolling, but Flamengo have **drawn three of their last five** while Cruzeiro sit pretty with **three wins in their last five**. The hosts are missing some serious muscle on the wings and midfield, which could be the difference in an open Copa Libertadores battle.

Key storylines:

- **Pedro and the Flamengo attack** face a Cruzeiro defense without **G. Pec**, their rock at center-back, and that's a window
- **Jorginho's midfield mettle** will need to hold the line with half the Rubro-Negro injury list sidelined
- **K. Arroyo and K. Jorge** spearheading Cruzeiro's counter with Flamengo stretched thin on the flanks

Expected lineups:

- **Flamengo**: Andrew, L. Pereira, L. Ortiz, J. Victor, Jorginho, E. Pulgar, S. Lino, J. Carrascal, G. Plata, Pedro
- **Cruzeiro**: Otávio, G. Rojas, J. Jesus, F. Bruno, M. Pereira, J. Marcelo, K. Kenji, F. Morais, K. Arroyo, K. Jorge

Prediction:

**Flamengo 2–1 Cruzeiro**. Home advantage + depth on the bench edge it, but this stays tight. ⚽
