Universidad Catolica vs Flamengo: Will Mengao maintain a solid lead in Group H?

Universidad Católica will face Brazilian side Flamengo in the third round of the Libertadores Cup group stage. The Brazilians have made a great start to the new tournament and are the favorites not only for the group but also for the upcoming match in particular, even despite the fielding factor.

April began for Universidad Católica with a 2:1 home win over Club Universidad de Chile. The future hosts then played five matches. In the Libertadores Cup, they achieved just one victory over Sporting Cristal, with three defeats, including a loss to Talleres de Córdoba and a draw against Colo-Colo in the national championship. As a result, Universidad Católica is only ninth in the Chilean league standings. In Group H of the Libertadores Cup, Universidad Católica is in third place, three points behind leading Flamengo.

Flamengo still lacks stability. After losing in the Carioca final, Mengao started in Serie A with a draw against Atlético Goianiense, followed by a 3:1 victory over Sao Paulo, points split against Palmeiras, and a defeat by Atletico Paranaense. In Serie A, the club from Rio is not yet doing well, but the Red and Black are doing well in the Libertadores Cup. In the first two rounds, they beat Sporting Cristal 2:0 and Talleres Cordoba 3:1.

We have seen that Flamengo has problems with results in away games, but this is more so in domestic tournaments. There is a feeling that the Chilean team is also destined for defeat on Friday. Flamengo has already drawn their fourth-round match in Serie A against Palmeiras, and their next encounter will be against the humble Atlética de Altos in the Brazilian Cup. We reckon the club from Rio will win. Handicap 2 (-0.75) for 1.808.

 Flamengo plays effectively in the Libertadores Cup. Mengao scored five goals against their opponents in their two opening matches. We expect the South American team to achieve at least two goals in the Chilean match. Individual Total 2 Over 2 for 2.68.

The third bet is a correct score 0:3 for 12.00.
