Central Cordoba (1st)
A big bunch of inconsistent performances from Central Cordoba in the Argentinian league, but they’ve been a different team entirely in the Copa Libertadores. 5 consecutive defeats for Central Cordoba in the Argentinian Primera Apertura, with their last game against Banfield ending in a 3-1 defeat. The game before that was against Independent Rivadavia, and it ended in a 1-2 defeat, as well as the game before that against Racing. An eyesore defensive lack here and there for the Argentinian side.
In the Copa Libertadores, Central Cordoba appears to be an entirely different team as they remain unbeaten and sit gallantly at the top of group C with two wins and a draw. Their first game in the group stage was against LDU Quito, and it ended in a goalless draw as both teams couldn’t find the breakthrough. They immediately found their footing in their second group game against Flamengo, with the game ending in a 1-2 victory to Cordoba. They sealed their top position in group C with another win in their third game against Deportivo Tachira, which ended in a 2-1 win. There’s now another opportunity for Cordoba to take it up a notch as they’ll take on Flamengo on Thursday.
Central Cordoba: Lineup
It is expected that Omar De Felippe will deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation. Braian Cufre is out after picking up an injury in their last league defeat against Banfield.

Flamengo: form and statistics
Flamengo lost their lead at the top of the table after that sad loss to Cruzeiro in their last league game. Cruzeiro drew the first blood with a goal from Kaio Jorge in the 15th minute, but the 30-year-old Arrascaeta pulled one back for Flamengo in the 44th minute. Gabriel Barbosa failed to convert a penalty from the spot in the 96th minute, but as goalkeeper Rossi saved it but Barbosa got a rebound and found the net. The game before Cruzeiro was a very important match for Flamengo, which they performed excellently; they devoured Corinthians by 4 goals to nil, and Pedro was the man of the match with a brace. The striker recovered from a long injury some weeks ago, a serious injury, and until now had not been a starter, playing just a few minutes per game. Against Corinthians, Pedro made his first team appearance this season, and with his two goals, he became the league's second top scorer with four goals.
In the Copa Libertadores, the Cariocas started their campaign with a narrow 0-1 victory over Deportivo Tachira, with Juninho scoring the only goal of the game. They then faced Central Cordoba in their second group stage game, which eventually ended in a 1-2 defeat as they were outclassed. Their last group stage game against LDU Quito ended in a goalless draw.
Flamengo: Probable Lineup
Former Atletico-Madrid and Chelsea left-back Felipe Luis has been incredible since joining Flamengo, and he will be hoping for a good performance in the Copa Libertadores this season. Alex Sandro has recovered and is ready to play. Ayrton Lucas has been performing well, so he could keep his place in the starting eleven. Filipe Luís gave the usual starters a rest in the cup game and even against Cruzeiro, so the team should be similar to the one used against Corinthians.
🔖Flamengo starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Rossi – Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas – Pulgar, De la Cruz, – Gerson, Arrascaeta, Everton Cebolinha – Pedro
👤Head Coach: Filipe Luís

Central Cordoba vs Flamengo match prediction 08 May 2025
Flamengo is a strong side, and we can see that in their domestic league and even in the Copa Libertadores. Flamengo were most recently defeated in the league by Cruzeiro owing to the fact that some key players were rested for this game against Cordoba; this goes to show how important the game is for Flamengo. The first leg was a cracker with both teams finding the net, but Cordoba eventually went home with all three points in the 1-2 stunner. We think both teams will come all out, but Flamengo will not be unlucky as they were in the first leg because they (Flamengo) deserved a win or at least a draw in that first leg encounter. Flamengo had 13 corners to just one corner for Cordoba in that game, and also over 19 shots taken, but they lacked the ability to create big chances and even convert them into goals. I think Flamengo will have a blast here, and we can bank on a win or a draw for Flamengo.
Our match prediction is for a total of over (8) corners for a coefficient of 1.65 in the 1xBet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match is for Flamengo to win for a coefficient of 1.74 in the Betway bookmaker.
Lastly, both teams to score (Yes) for 2.23 odds in the 1xBet bookmaker.
