Renato Gaucho is doing an amazing job with this Flamengo squad since he joined the team as head coach. Flamengo's eight-game winning streak ended in their previous duel when they, unfortunately, lost 4-0 to Internacional at home. Still, one of the biggest clubs in Brazil aims for a Copa Libertadores trophy this year, South America's equivalent to Champions League. On the other side, the hosts, Olimpia Asuncion, barely made it to this stage and are unlikely to go past Flamengo in the two-leg clash. They are doing terribly in the league, being a second-worst team with only three points from four matches. Alejandro Silva will be the only absentee for the home side in the upcoming game, while the guests will miss Vitinho.

The hosts are coming from a 3-1 loss against Guarani in their league, and are currently on a two-game losing streak. Olimpia surprised everyone by defeating Brazil's Internacional on penalties, a result of both games ending goalless. Sergio Orteman's club faced Flamengo twice back in 2012, winning 3-2 and finding a draw in a 2-2 duel. The opponent is hoping to get its revenge against this Paraguayan team in the upcoming game, and by the looks of it, I expect the guests to go back home with a victory.

Flamengo needs to ensure a victory for the second game that will be played at the famous Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The visitors are happy with this draw, having to face either Fluminense or Ecuadorian Barcelona SC if they eliminate Olimpia here. The favorites are doing great in the league after winning it last year, having the second-best attack in the top division. Amazing Gabriel Barbosa is leading Flamengo's attack so far, scoring six and assisting two goals in eight Copa Libertadores appearances.

自从雷纳托·高乔作为主教练加入球队以来，这支弗拉门戈的表现非常出色。弗拉门戈的八连胜在上一场比赛中被终止，他们在主场以 0-4 输给了国际。尽管如此，作为巴西最大的俱乐部之一，他们今年的目标是夺得南美解放者杯冠军，相当于欧洲的冠军联赛。另一方面，主队亚奥林几乎没有进入这个阶段，在两回合比赛中不太可能超过弗拉门戈。他们在联赛中的表现非常糟糕，四场比赛只得到三分，是第二差的球队。亚历杭德罗席尔瓦将是主队唯一缺席的球员，而客队将缺少维蒂尼奥。

亚奥林在联赛中以 1-3 输给了瓜拉尼，目前正处于两连败的状态。他们在点球大战中击败了巴西的国际队，这让所有人感到惊讶，因为两场比赛都没有进球。塞尔吉奥奥尔特曼的球队两次遇上弗拉门戈，3-2 获胜，还有一场2-2的平局。弗拉门戈希望在即将到来的比赛中复仇，从实力上看，我预测客队能够赢球。

弗拉门戈需要确保在里约热内卢著名的马拉卡纳体育场举行的第二场比赛取得胜利。这场比赛平局可以令他们满意，如果他们淘汰了亚奥林，他们将面对弗鲁米嫩塞或厄瓜多尔的巴塞罗那SC。去年夺冠后，他们在联赛中表现出色，在巴甲联赛中排名第二。状态出色的加布里埃尔·巴博萨领衔弗拉门戈的进攻，在八场解放者杯的比赛中打进六球并助攻两球。预测弗拉门戈胜。
