Two Brazilian sides, Palmeiras and Flamengo are set to battle in the final of the 2021 Copa Libertadores in Uruguay. It will be the second straight time that two Brazilian sides face off in the final, and also these two sides were the winners in the last two editions. Palmeiras are the defending champions here; last season, they beat Santos to win the title. They are coming from a poor run, winless in their last four matches, with three losses in there. They’ve conceded two in three of the last four matches and have failed to score in two of the four games. In the semi finals of the Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras scraped through on the away goal after home and away draws with Atletico Mineiro. They have one win in four Copa Libertadores matches.

Flamengo have had the upper hand in most of the matches pitting these two sides. In the last nine meetings with Palmeiras, they haven’t tasted defeat, winning five and drawing four. Going into this game, Flamengo have a better run as well; they are undefeated in the last nine games, with six wins. They are coming from a 2-2 draw with Gremio, the seventh of eight matches in which they have scored two or more goals. Flamengo have three clean sheets in the last five matches and in the Copa Libertadores, they have six straight wins and a 12-match unbeaten run. In the semis they saw off Ecuadorian side Barcelona 4-0 on aggregate and they have scored two or more in each of the last five matches in this competition.
