Estudiantes host Flamengo on Apr 29, 2026, at 8:30 PM in a Copa Libertadores Group A meeting that could shape the top of the table. Flamengo arrive as the group leaders, while Estudiantes sit second and know a result at home would tighten the race.
The match follows two meetings between the clubs in September 2025, when Estudiantes won 1-0 at home before Flamengo answered with a 2-1 win on their own ground. That split history gives this game a familiar edge, especially with both sides carrying recent form into it. Fubo and beIN SPORTS are among the broadcasters showing the match, while beIN SPORTS Connect and Fanatiz are offering live stream access.
Estudiantes come in with three wins and two draws from their last five matches across all competitions. They drew 0-0 with Talleres in Liga Profesional play on Apr 25, 2026, a result that followed a 1-0 away win over Instituto the week before. In Libertadores action, they have beaten Cusco FC 2-1 and drawn 1-1 with Independiente Medellin, leaving them well placed to keep pressing Flamengo for first place.
Flamengo have been even sharper, winning all five of their most recent matches. They thrashed Atletico MG 4-0 away in Serie A on Apr 26, 2026, and beat Independiente Medellin 4-1 in their latest Libertadores outing. That run gives them momentum, but it also raises the bar for Estudiantes, who have already shown they can beat Flamengo at home in this competition.
What makes this meeting tricky is that neither side can lean on a one-sided recent record. Estudiantes know they have already found a way past Flamengo in La Plata, and Flamengo know they have already handled the reverse fixture. With Group A still tight at the top, the result in Argentina is likely to tell more about who can control the group than about anything settled in September.
