In the Copa Libertadores, an all-Brazilian showdown is on the horizon as the tournament’s knockout stage begins. Cruzeiro hosts Flamengo this week, with the two teams, both from the same league, facing off on the continental stage. The home team is struggling in Brazil’s Serie A, sitting 14th in the standings with just one win in its last four matches. In the Copa Libertadores, however, Cruzeiro has looked much more promising. They finished second in Group B with 11 points and just one loss in six matches.

On the other side, Flamengo is the favorite, for several reasons. First, they are near the top of the league standings, just behind leader Palmeiras. Flamengo is in second place but still very much in the title race. In the Copa Libertadores, the red-and-black club had a nearly flawless run in the group stage: six matches, five wins, and one draw. That was enough to secure first place in their group and send a message to the rest of the continent. Flamengo is clearly the favorite to win the tournament.
