LC - Football - South America - Libertadores Cup

Maybe tomorrow, some bookmakers will raise the odd of home win because Flamengo cannot count on the defender David and the midfielder Gonzalo Fierro.

But.. . I have found the lineup who Flamengo probably will put on field in the match against UC:

Bruno, Léo Moura, Alvaro, Fabricio, Juan, Maldonado, Willians, Kleberson e Pet (Vinicius), Adriano and Vagner Love.

Sincerely I doubt that someone can read so many strong teams in all South Americans championships.

Flamengo occupies first position in Carioca League - group A and has prepared by a long time their Copa Libertadores home debut at Maracanà stadium (where will present about 40k fans). Infact, in the latest weeks, a Flamengo's scout has viewed all Universidad Catolica matches and I think that they have yet found all their weaknesses. Everybody in Flamengo's enviroment seems motivated and some players (like Adriano) say that this year Copa will be primary target.

Universidad Catolica will play this match not really in their best conditions.

First, they come by a row of 3 defeats who has brought the squad on the eleventh place in their national league. This ensure the creation of a bad environment around the team. Infact, fans start to criticize team's coach and some local newspapers talks about some cracks inside team. Team goalkeeper too, talks about a tense climate around the team. For this match they can not count on midfielder Jorge Ormeño.

So, I strongly believe in a Flamengo victory and if they break the home debut tension, in a relatively short time, they could win with more than a goal of difference.
