Last day in the Copa Libertadores: one point is enough for the reigning champions to qualify, three are needed to hope for first position
The objective is to win a place in the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores: to do so, the reigning champions Flamengo will necessarily have to score points against Aucas, which currently occupies the last position in Group A behind Racing Club Argentina and Nublense. To jump to the top of the group, Sampaoli’s team must not only overcome the Ecuadorians, but also hope that Racing loses at home against the Chileans; while with one point she would be sure of at least second place.
COPA LIBERTADORES, THE PREDICTION OF FLAMENGO-AUCAS
—
Flamengo has no alternatives, other than victory, to aim for first place in Group A. For this reason, the team from Sampaoli will play an attacking game from the start of the match. A possible bet is therefore the one that refers to the first half, quoted 1.44 by PokerStars Sport, 1.45 by Sisal and 1.48 by Betway.

—
Sampaoli will rely primarily on Gabigol, who also scored in the 1-1 draw against Nublense. His signing in the match is worth 1.44 for PokerStars Sport and 1.57 for Sisal with the odds as first scorer standing at 3.15. The second scorer who could make the difference is Pedro: a goal from him is worth 1.40 for PokerStars Sport and 1.60 for Sisal, 2.70 in the event of a goal in the first half.
STATISTICS AND BACKGROUND
—
Flamengo approaches the match in the best possible way, fresh from the success against Santos in the Brazilian Serie A. The Sampaoli-based team has a three-point lead over the Chilean side Atletico Nublense and will therefore only need one point to maintain second place. Aucas, on the other hand, has won only one match in this Copa Libertadores, precisely against Flamengo, and therefore occupies fourth place in Group A. Cesar Farias’s team nonetheless comes from an important success in the league with a 2-0 Ourense. Flamengo have an excellent home schedule with 5 wins and 1 draw in the last six games played considering all competitions.
