Flamengo will invite Deportivo Tachira to the Maracanã Stadium in their final Copa Libertadores group-stage match on Wednesday. The hosts must secure a win in this match to seal their place in the knockout stage. Tachira have lost all five games thus far and will look to conclude their campaign on a positive note.
Mengão played LDU Quito in their previous Libertadores match and registered a 2-0 win. They extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to six games on Sunday, recording a 2-0 away triumph over Palmeiras in the Brazilian Serie A. Giorgian de Arrascaeta continued his fine form and scored in the 73rd minute. Ayrton Lucas doubled their lead 14 minutes later.
The visitors had suffered a 2-1 home loss to Central Cordoba in the Libertadores earlier this month. They have bounced back well from that loss and are on a two-game winning streak. They registered a 4-2 away win over Carabobo in the Venezuelan Primera División last week.
