Team News & Injuries

Flamengo RJ

Out: Nicolás De La Cruz, Gonzalo Plata (injuries)
In: Jorginho (debut from Arsenal)
Form: Unbeaten in 8 matches across all competitions

Esperance de Tunis

Doubtful: Yassine Meriah (ACL recovery)
Fit & Ready: Youcef Belaïli, the star winger with 18 goals and 16 assists last season
Form: 11-match unbeaten streak in domestic and continental play

Tactical Preview & Prediction

Flamengo will likely dominate possession, leveraging the creativity of Giorgian De Arrascaeta and the pace of Bruno Henrique on the wings, with Pedro leading the line. Their high pressing and attacking width could stretch Esperance’s defense, especially in the absence of Meriah.

Esperance, on the other hand, will look to remain compact, strike on the counter through Belaïli, and use their midfield duo to disrupt Flamengo’s rhythm. Expect a 4-2-3-1 formation with defensive rigidity and long switches to exploit any space.

Prediction: Flamengo 2–1 Esperance Tunis

Expect a tightly contested match with Flamengo’s individual quality giving them the edge.
