Flamengo VS Pyramids FC

Flamengo arrive in this clash looking every inch a side hitting their stride at the right moment. The Brazilian giants have been remarkably consistent, unbeaten in their last five and showing plenty of resilience on the road, wins at Cruz Azul and Palmeiras underline their ability to control high-pressure environments. Their attacking edge has travelled well too, scoring in all five recent outings. Pyramids, meanwhile, come into this with a far more mixed profile. A heavy 1–6 home defeat to National Bank Egypt exposed defensive cracks, and while they’ve picked up wins against lighter opposition, their performances have lacked the authority needed against elite South American sides. They do create chances, but their back line has been far too generous.
