Flamengo vs Deportes Tolima Prediction

Flamengo are on a three-game winning streak across competitions and will start as the favourites at home. Tolima head into the game better-rested than their hosts but will likely fall short here. As Rubro-Negro have a one-goal advantage to protect, they could settle for a draw.

Prediction: Flamengo 1-1 Deportes Tolima.
