For today's match, coach Filipe Luís will have almost his entire squad available. Defender Léo Ortiz, who was substituted in the match against Palmeiras, made a quick recovery from his ankle injury and could be included in the squad. The only confirmed absence is forward Everton Cebolinha. 

Retrospect

Flamengo and Racing have faced each other 17 times throughout their history, with a slight advantage for the red-and-black team. Flamengo has won six, drawn six, and triumphed five times for the Argentines. The last meeting between the two teams took place in the 2023 Copa Libertadores, when "Mais Querido" won 2-1 at the Maracanã stadium, with goals from Wesley and Victor Hugo.
