Universidad Católica and Flamengo get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Universidad Católica have less rest than Flamengo in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primera Division game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Colo-Colo, was also a home game here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo. The away team is better rested.

Flamengo was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the final last season.

The Serie A season is young and Flamengo have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Flamengo aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 198 league minutes without a goal. Arrascaeta was the last player to find the net.

Flamengo are travelling again after losing away to Athletico PR in their previous match (0-1). Defender Arão was the best team player with a rating of 7.5. Arão hit one key pass and won 8 of 9 duels.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Palmeiras in the Serie A.

The schedule is very tough for Flamengo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Altos is waiting in only three days.

1 goal so far away for Flamengo, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between these squads: Universidad won two, Flamengo were winners in two and we saw zero draws. one game with more than 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
