The 2022 Copa Libertadores continues this week and will see Flamengo host Universidad Catolica at the Estadio do Maracana on Tuesday.
Flamengo have enjoyed a strong continental run so far this season. They won their first three games of the tournament but had to settle for a point last time out as they played a 2-2 draw against Tallares, coming from behind twice to draw level.
The home side sit atop the Group H standings with 10 points from an obtainable 12. They need just one point on Tuesday to seal their advancement to the next round.
Universidad Catolica have had mixed results in the competition, with their only win coming in the second round of the group stages when they beat Sporting Cristal 2-1. They faced the same opponents in the reverse fixture last time out and played out a 1-1 draw.
The Chilean club sit third in the group table with four points from four games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they make a late push for the playoffs.
