Flamengo RJ vs Union La Calera Prediction & Betting tips
On the second match day of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, Flamengo and Union La Calera face each other on Tuesday night. The odds leave no questions unanswered as to which team is the favorite in the unequal duel. This pronounced role of favorites is well founded, because after all, a multiple winner of the South American Champions League meets a debutant. In terms of quality, the Brazilian champions of the past two years can be rated much better, so that there is virtually no alternative to a prediction for the home side between Flamengo and Union La Calera.
Flamengo:
Flamengo Rio de Janeiro is undoubtedly one of the most successful teams in South America. With a total of seven Brazilian championships, three national cup wins, various city championships and the two-time success in the Copa Libertadores, there are only a few clubs that can hold a candle to the red and black on the entire continent.
The former World Cup winner has been particularly convincing in the recent past. In 2019 and 2020, Flamengo won the championship in the Brazilian Serie A. In 2019, the almost 40-year drought ended and the title in the South American Champions League, the Copa Libertadores, was celebrated again. After the traditional club surprisingly failed as defending champion in the round of 16 at the Racing Club from Argentina in the previous year, a deep run is being targeted in Rio de Janeiro in 2021.
Union La Calera :
For Union La Calera, even taking part in the Copa Libertadores 2021 is a huge success. For the very first time ever, the club from western Chile has made it into the elite circle of the best South American football teams. The red-whites owe this success of the runner-up from last year.
This means that the club’s impressive development from the city of 50,000 inhabitants continued seamlessly, as real mileage certificates could already be achieved in 2018/19 and 2019/20 with the first right to start the Copa Sudamericana and the first-time entry into the round of 16 a year later. In 2021, the team around the experienced long-time national player Jorge Valdivia, who came from Colo Colo at the beginning of March, wants to take the next step.
