Flamengo vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting Tips

Flamengo vs Palmeiras Preview

Flamengo bounced back from their recent setbacks with an impressive and laudable victory over Botafogo. The hosts started the game brightly, ending the first half with a one-nil lead. Reinvigorated by Felipe Luis’ halftime changes, Flamengo took the game beyond Botafogo as they scored two more goals in the 70th and 80th minutes respectively to bag the maximum points.

At home, Flamengo are unbeaten in seven matches, winning four and drawing three. Extending this streak will be prioritized as they continue to chase league leaders Palmeiras, who sit three points and a place ahead of them.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras will look to extend their winning streak to five matches when they return to action this weekend. The visitors recorded an impressive 5-1 victory over Bragantino last time out, maintaining their place at the top of the league table with great confidence and rhythm. Although their attacking department looks to have found its groove, having scored at least three goals in each of their last four matches, the defensive unit will need extra focus and proper support to avoid slipping in the ongoing title race.

Away from home, Abel Ferreira’s men have also been solid, losing just one of their last seven matches, winning four and drawing two against strong opposition sides across the division. The result of this highly anticipated clash could either retain or propel one of Palmeiras and Flamengo to the top of the league table and perhaps serve as a major turning point in the thrilling race for the title.

Flamengo vs Palmeiras Prediction

We back Flamengo to win this match because they are unbeaten in ten matches against Palmeiras at the Maracana Stadium. This run includes four draws and six victories and we expect it to be extended this weekend.

In addition, both teams are not expected to get on the scoresheet because both teams failed to score in five of their last six head-to-head meetings and in four of Flamengo’s last five matches.

Lastly, a high-scoring result is not anticipated because Flamengo’s last five matches averaged 1.6 goals per game and the last five meetings between the two teams averaged 1.4 goals per game.
