Flamengo vs Millonarios prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa Libertadores 2024

Flamengo entertain Millonarios at Maracanã in their final group-stage game of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday (May 28). This is a must-win match for the hosts, who are in second place in Group E. They have seven points from five games, the same as third-placed Palestino, so a loss could see them drop to the Copa Sudamericana.

Flamengo made it three wins on the trot last week, with a 1-0 win over Amazonas in the Copa do Brasil, after beating Bolivar 4-0 at home in the Libertadores earlier this month.

Millonarios, meanwhile, have endured a winless run in the competition, suffering two losses in five games. They will finish at the bottom of Group E and will look to sign off for the campaign on a positive note. Nonetheless, they head into the game on a four-game unbeaten run, which is a cause for concern.

Flamengo have seen an upturn in form recently, recording three consecutive wins while keeping clean sheets. They have won six of their last seven home games across competitions.

Millonarios, meanwhile, have endured a four-game winless run across competitions, failing to score twice. They have lost two of their last four away games across competitions.
