How and Where to Watch Estudiantes vs Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores on beIN SPORTS
Estudiantes host defending champions Flamengo in La Plata in the first leg of the semifinals, with a place in the final on the line.
Estudiantes de La Plata and Flamengo open their Copa Libertadores semifinal series this Thursday, October 15 at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi. The match kicks off at 8:20 PM ET and will be available LIVE on beIN SPORTS.
How do Estudiantes arrive?
El Pincha enter the match looking to rediscover their best form after a 2-2 draw against Central Córdoba in the Torneo Clausura. Alexander Medina’s side has been inconsistent in recent outings but will look to make home advantage count before the return leg at the Maracanã.
Medina will bring several starters back after resting them in the last match, although Leandro González Pirez and Tomás Palacios will miss out through suspension after accumulating yellow cards. Marcos Rojo is one of the leading options to start in defense, while Tiago Palacios, Joaquín Tobio Burgos and Guido Carrillo are expected to lead the attack.
How do Flamengo arrive?
Flamengo arrive in La Plata as the defending champions and in excellent form. Mengão topped their group — which also included Estudiantes — before eliminating Cruzeiro and Independiente del Valle on their way to the semifinals.
The Brazilian side also come into the match after a 1-0 victory over Fluminense in the Brasileirão and will look to extend their strong run in Argentina before taking the tie back to the Maracanã.
