For the match which counts for a place in the Intercontinental Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), coach Filipe Luís must rest some players. One of the changes in the starting lineup is expected to be the swap of Danilo for Leo Ortiz.
The one who could surprise the match is the striker Pedro. The Flamengo number 9 has not played since October, when he was injured at the Libertadores, but he was registered for the duel and should benefit from a few minutes.
The starting team expected to take the field against Pyramids is:
- Rossi
- Emerson Royal
- Danilo
- Leo Pereira
- Ayrton Lucas
- Pulgar
- Jorginho
- Arrascaète
- Carrascal
- Gonzalo Plata
- Bruno Henrique
Whoever advances in the clash will face PSG next Wednesday (12/17).
