THE PREDICTION

Flamengo arrive back home in Rio with a slender one-goal advantage over their Argentinian counter parts and cannot afford to switch off in this second leg encounter. Defensa y Justicia followed their first leg defeat up with another loss, this time in their opening domestic league match of the season and questions have to be asked about the confidence within their squad. Needing to overturn a one-deficit at the Maracanã is a daunting prospect, let alone for a team who have suffered successive losses and the hosts, on the back of three successive victories should extend that run to four with another triumph in this second leg.
