Storylines
Liverpool: The Reds have Premier League action this weekend, but you can bet they are taking this one seriously with a trophy on the line. Sadio Mane and Firmino are well rested, and the Reds are the favorite. The key will be keeping shape defensively as Flamengo can do damage down the wings. If Liverpool keeps its form going, they’ll lift the trophy.

Flamengo: Don’t think just because this team is from South America that they can’t win. The first half of the semifinal was awful, but this is one of the most dominant teams in South America over the last 10 to 15 years. Gabriel Barbosa has revived his career and will be hungry to show what he can do against a top centerback like Virgil van Dijk. Flamengo has a bunch of players who have played at the top level of Europe or may be doing so soon, and this could be closer than the average fan may expect.

Prediction
Flamengo strikes first but Liverpool is too strong in the end, sneaking out the victory on a goal from Mohamed Salah. Pick: Liverpool 2, Flamengo 1.
