Flamengo Rio de Janeiro vs Cruzeiro: prediction & betting odds 20 August 2026

Published: 18 August 2026 22:00

The second leg of the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 will see Flamengo host Cruzeiro at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, with the match scheduled for 19 August 2026 at 20:30 EDT / 17:30 PDT.

In Belo Horizonte, the teams drew 1:1, leaving the tie completely open. The away goals rule has been abolished in the Libertadores, so a draw in Rio would take the contest to penalties. Neither side need to rush forward from the first minutes, and that shapes the whole pattern of the match.

Bet for the match 

Flamengo reached the play-offs as the reigning trophy holders and with the tournament's best group-stage run: 16 points from 18 and only two goals conceded. Leonardo Jardim builds his side around control rather than bursts. This was clear in Belo Horizonte: 56% possession in the first half and five shots on target to one. 

At home, this approach delivers consistent results. At the Maracana in 2026, the hosts have won 14 of 20 matches and lost three. Pedro has scored 15 goals at this ground this season and bagged a brace in the 5:1 thrashing of Mirassol three days ago. The team are in good rhythm. 

Under Artur Jorge, Cruzeiro have risen from bottom place to fifth and become the league's third-best away side. However, they have been frugal in their victories: 17 points from 33 available away from home and eight goals scored in six group-stage matches. At the Mineirao, they used a low 4-4-2 block and relied on Keny Arroyo's bursts. 

The 2:1 win over Corinthians in Itaquera has given the visitors confidence, but their attacking line has been depleted: Gabriel Pec and Luis Sinisterra are not in the squad. They lack the personnel to unlock the hosts' defence in Rio. Only Bruno Henrique is doubtful for Flamengo. 

The hosts rarely concede and are unbeaten at home, while the visitors will travel to defend; both sides understand the cost of conceding first. Flamengo have finished under 2.5 goals in 67% of their matches this season, and Cruzeiro in 71%. A low-scoring match is more logical than any other scenario here, while draw cover addresses the bet's main risk.
