Copa Libertadores betting and spectator preview: Junior and Flamengo meet at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Carioca 1 game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Cabofriense. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Junior form and stats
Junior was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Copa Libertadores.3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera A numbers at home for Junior so far this season.
