Estudiantes x Flamengo: transmissão ao vivo, horário e escalações da Libertadores

Flamengo seeks to extend its winning streak and further distance itself
The Brazilian club leads Group A with six points and faces Estudiantes in a match that could determine the group's trajectory.

En la noche del miércoles 29 de abril, dos clubes con historia y ambición continental se encontrarán en La Plata para disputar un capítulo más de la eterna búsqueda sudamericana por la gloria. Flamengo, líder invicto del Grupo A con seis puntos, llega como favorito a territorio argentino, mientras Estudiantes busca en su propio estadio la victoria que lo mantenga vivo en la carrera por la clasificación. Es el tipo de duelo que la Copa Libertadores ha sabido forjar durante décadas: una prueba de carácter tanto como de fútbol.

  • Flamengo llega a Argentina en su mejor momento del torneo, con dos victorias consecutivas que lo consolidan como el equipo a vencer en el Grupo A.
  • Estudiantes siente la presión de jugar en casa sabiendo que un tropiezo podría alejarlo peligrosamente del liderato y complicar su camino a la siguiente fase.
  • El duelo táctico entre Alexander Medina y Leonardo Jardim promete ser determinante: el local buscará imponer intensidad física, mientras el visitante intentará controlar el juego desde la mediocampo con Jorginho y Arrascaeta.
  • La ventaja de local en el Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi es el principal argumento de Estudiantes frente a un Flamengo que, en papel, supera al rival en forma y confianza.
  • El resultado de esta noche podría redefinir la dinámica del grupo: una victoria de Flamengo prácticamente sentenciaría el liderato, mientras que un triunfo local reabriría completamente la lucha por el primer puesto.

El miércoles 29 de abril, Estudiantes y Flamengo se enfrentarán en el Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi de La Plata en la tercera fecha de la fase de grupos de la Copa Libertadores. El partido comenzará a las 21h30 (horario de Brasilia) y podrá seguirse en TV Globo y Paramount+.

Flamengo llega como líder del Grupo A con seis puntos, producto de victorias ante Cusco e Independiente Medellín. El equipo dirigido por Leonardo Jardim se ha mostrado sólido y consistente. Estudiantes, en segundo lugar con cuatro puntos, ganó en casa ante Cusco pero empató de visitante ante Medellín, lo que lo deja obligado a sumar para no perder contacto con el líder.

El local contará con Muslera bajo los palos, una línea defensiva de cuatro, y un mediocampo con Amondarain y Piovi. En ataque, Guido Carrillo será el referente, acompañado por Farias, Cetré y Tiago Palacios. Flamengo responderá con Rossi en el arco, la dupla Jorginho-Evertton Araújo en el medio, Arrascaeta como motor creativo, y el tridente ofensivo de Plata, Samuel Lino y Pedro.

El árbitro chileno Piero Maza dirigirá el encuentro, con Juan Lara a cargo del VAR. Las alineaciones oficiales se confirmarán cerca de una hora antes del pitazo inicial. Para Flamengo, la victoria significaría consolidar un liderato casi inapelable; para Estudiantes, es una final anticipada en casa.

On Wednesday evening, April 29th, Estudiantes and Flamengo will meet at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in Argentina for the third round of Copa Libertadores group play. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time. The match will be broadcast live on TV Globo and through the Paramount+ streaming service for viewers across Brazil.

Flamengo arrives at this fixture in command of Group A, having collected six points from two victories—one against Cusco and another over Independiente Medellín. Leonardo Jardim's squad has established itself as the group's strongest force so far. Estudiantes de La Plata, meanwhile, sits in second place with four points. The Argentine club defeated Cusco at home in their most recent outing but drew away to Independiente Medellín in their previous match, leaving them chasing Flamengo's pace.

Estudiantes will field a lineup anchored by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, with a back line of Mancuso, González Pírez, Tomás Palacios, and Benedetti. The midfield will feature Amondarain and Ezequiel Piovi, while Tiago Palacios, Facundo Farias, and Edwin Cetré operate in attacking positions behind striker Guido Carrillo. Alexander Medina oversees the team's tactical approach.

Flamengo counters with Rossi in goal and a defensive unit of Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro. The midfield pairing of Evertton Araújo and Jorginho will be tasked with controlling tempo, with Arrascaeta providing creative support. The attacking trio of Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro will carry the offensive burden. Leonardo Jardim directs operations from the sideline.

The match will be overseen by Chilean referee Piero Maza, with assistants Jose Retamal and Miguel Rocha also from Chile. Juan Lara will manage the VAR system. Official team sheets are typically confirmed approximately one hour before the opening whistle.

This third-round encounter carries weight for both clubs' tournament ambitions. Flamengo seeks to extend its winning streak and further distance itself atop the standings, while Estudiantes needs a result to keep pace and maintain realistic hopes of advancing from the group. The Argentine side's home advantage at Hirschi provides some leverage, though Flamengo's current form and point total suggest the visitors will enter as favorites.

Inventor

Why does this particular match matter more than any other group-stage game?

Model

Because Flamengo is already pulling away. Two wins in two games means they're setting the pace. If Estudiantes loses here, they fall six points back with only three rounds left. That's a gap that's hard to close.

Inventor

So Estudiantes is playing for survival, essentially.

Model

Not quite survival—they can still advance. But they're playing for relevance. A draw keeps them in the conversation. A win puts real pressure back on Flamengo. Right now they're reacting, not leading.

Inventor

What's the tactical story here? How do these teams actually play?

Model

Flamengo under Jardim is built on control and transition. They have the better midfield on paper. Estudiantes under Medina tends to be more direct, more physical. It's a classic setup: the team with more possession and technical skill against the team that wants to disrupt and hit on the break.

Inventor

And the home crowd at Hirschi—does that shift things?

Model

It helps, but not as much as it used to. These are professional teams. The real advantage is that Estudiantes knows the pitch, knows the conditions. Flamengo has to adapt. But Flamengo's already proven they can win away.

Inventor

If I had to bet on what happens, what would you say?

Model

Flamengo probably wins, but it won't be easy. Estudiantes will make them work for it. The kind of match where the scoreline doesn't capture how close it actually was.
