Racing Club vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | May 4th 2023

Racing Club will host Flamengo at Estadio Presidente Peron on Thursday in another round of the group stages of the 2023 CONMEBOL Libertadores.

The home side opened their continental campaign with a 2-0 win over Chilean outfit Nublense, with Matias Rojas and Paolo Guerrero getting on the scoresheet in either half. They then beat Aucas 3-2 in the next round, with both sides finishing the game with 10 men.

Racing have struggled for form in their domestic assignments of late and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week.

Flamengo, meanwhile, were beaten 2-1 by Aucas in their first CONMEBOL Libertadores game of the season, with Matheus Franca scoring the opener before their opponents turned the game around in the second half. They then picked up their first continental win of the season last month with a 2-0 win over Nublense featuring a brace from Brazil international Pedro.

The visitors sit second in the group table with three points from an obtainable six and will be looking to add to that tally on Thursday.
