The Ecuadorian Serie A has not yet started as Independiente del Valle is still in preseason mode. Since winning the Copa Sudamerica, Los Negriazules have suffered some key losses to the squad like Luis Fernando Leon, who went to the Liga MX and Cristian Dajome, who went to the MLS.
Flamengo has been active this year, recently winning the Supercopa do Brazil against Atletico-PR. The Rubro-Negro also participated in the Club World Cup last winter and fell 1-0 to Liverpool in the final.
Flamengo has one of the best squads on the continent with some of the standouts being striker “Gabigol” and Uruguayan international Giorgian De Arrascaeta. The Brazilian team will be contenders in the Brazilian Serie A and in the Copa Libertadores once again this season.
