Flamengo to Win and Lead at Half Time
This is pretty much a must-win game for Flamengo, the reigning South American champions, since they only have five points after the first four rounds in Group A. Meanwhile, Racing Club has ten points and they are practically already in the next phase.
So, the guests have done much better so far, but they have struggled in their domestic championship and that's one of the reasons why we can see Flamengo winning this game, in addition to them being the better team on paper and playing at home. All in all, our first Flamengo vs Racing Club prediction is for Flamengo to win and lead at half time.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
The last three head-to-head duels between these two teams have all gone under 2.5 total goals and that's the main reason why our second Flamengo vs Racing Club prediction is for this match to go under 2.5 total goals as well.
In addition to this, Flamengo went under 2.5 total goals in three of their first four games in the group, while the same thing happened in two of the four Racing Club matches in Copa Libertadores so far.

Flamengo – Racing Club Preview: Team News, Form, and Probable Lineups
You can read all the latest updates and news on both teams here, including the most likely Flamengo vs Racing Club lineups:
Flamengo
The defending champions of South America have struggled a bit in Copa Libertadores so far and they only managed to win five points from their first four games in the competition. That is still enough to put them in the second place in the group, but both Nublense and Aucas are right behind, so Flamengo will have to be better in the remaining two games or they risk not getting out of group stages. Meanwhile, the team is doing well in Serie A, where they won four of their last five games.
When it comes to team news, Marinho, Matheuzinho, Leo Pereira, and Everton Ribeiro are on the sidelines with injuries at the moment.
Flamengo Predicted Lineups:
Cunha – Wesley, Bruno, Luiz, Lucas – Franca, Pulgar, Maia, Gerson – De Arrascaeta, Pedro
Racing Club
After notching a win over Banfield in the last round of Argentinian Primera Division, Racing Club finally ended their streak of eight games without a win in their domestic championship. So, things haven't been going that well for Racing at home so far, but at least they have done great in Copa Libertadores, where they are currently at the top with ten points from four matches and very close to securing a spot in the next phase of the competition.
Meanwhile, Maximiliano Romero, Johan Carbonero, and Emiliano Vecchio are on the team's injury list right now.
Racing Club Predicted Lineups:
Arias – Rojas, Piovi, Sigali, Mura – Moralez, Moreno, Nardoni – Gomez, Reniero, Oroz
Starting Lineups
Teams often release their starting lineups an hour ahead of the kickoff.

Player to Watch: Pedro
With Flamengo being the defending champion of South America and the favourite to win this match, our player to watch comes from this team and it is their prolific striker Pedro.
With three goals in Serie A and two goals in Copa Libertadores, Pedro has been one of the team's top performers and scorers this season, so Racing Club better keep a close eye on him.
