International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Flamengo and Junior are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's no vacation for neither Flamengo nor Junior as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Flamengo form and stats
Flamengo participated in Copa Libertadores the last season, where they reached the finals.Flamengo have played 8 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.
Flamengo are returning here after visiting Corinthians in a Serie A game and winning with a 5-1 scoreline. Natan, Vitinho, Everton Ribeiro, Bruno Henrique and Diego scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 versus Bragantino.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Flamengo played a great game against Corinthians and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Flamengo goalkeeper Hugo Souza did an outstanding job against Corinthians with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.
Flamengo are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found twelve matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won nine, drew two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Flamengo as they are travelling to their away game against Internacional in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.
Flamengo have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 13 goals in 8 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Flamengo have only conceded 7 from their league home games.

Junior form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the group stage.There's been little loot from Junior's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Primera A. Junior only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 5 draws. When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 2W-0D-3L. This is both home and away.
Two travels in a row for Junior, whose manager J. Comesaña López could celebrate last time after the Primera A win against Deportivo Pereira. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs America de Cali.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Junior played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.
A quick return to home after this game, as Junior are hosting Millonarios in the Primera A only three days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Junior as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Junior - Flamengo 1-2. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's three Flamengo victories, zero draws and zero Junior wins.
