Millonarios and Flamengo will battle for three points in the opening game of the Copa Libertadores campaign on Tuesday.
The home side are coming off a 2-1 away win over Fortaleza in the Colombian Primera A. Juan Vargas and Juan Pereira scored first-half goals for the visitors, while Adrian Osorio halved the deficit 10 minutes into the second half. Cesar Hinestroza missed the chance to draw the game level when he missed a 69th-minute penalty.
Flamengo, meanwhile, saw off Nova Iguacu with a 3-0 away win in the first leg of the Taca Guanabara final. Pedro scored a brace while Ronald scored an unfortunate own goal in the 80th minute.
The Rubro-Negro will turn their focus to the continent and have been drawn into Group E alongside Palestino, Millonarios and Bolivar.

Millonarios vs Flamengo Prediction
Millonarios have won their last two league games on the bounce but will face the toughest test of their campaign when they welcome the Rio giants. Their games in recent months have been highly entertaining, with both sides creating plenty of chances.
That contrasts Flamengo, who will kick-start their quest for a fourth Copa Libertadores crown. Tite's side have started the season emphatically and are unbeaten in 14 games played across all competitions this term. Their strong start to the campaign has been founded on the back of a stringent defense that has kept 12 consecutive clean sheets, of which Agustin Rossi has kept goal in 11.
We are tipping the Brazilians to claim a routine victory in addition to a clean sheet.
