Flamengo DLWDLW ⚖
Flamengo, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-3 Serie A success over Botafogo.
In that match, Flamengo managed 60% possession and 11 shots on goal with 5 on target. For Flamengo, the goals were scored by Pedro (40'), Araújo (70') and Gonzalo Plata (80'). At the other end, Botafogo had 16 shots at goal with 5 on target.
It has not been often in recent times that Flamengo have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Flamengo have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 5 goals during that time. We will see if that trend can be sustained here.
Looking at their past form shows that Flamengo:
- haven't lost in the league to Palmeiras in their last 15 games. It's quite some record.
- are undefeated in their last 18 home league matches. What a fortress.
- are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

Going into this contest, Palmeiras haven't beaten Flamengo in away games against them for the last 8 matches in the league. A very poor set of away results, indeed.

📰 Team News: Flamengo
The Flamengo manager Filipe Luís has a full complement, with no fitness concerns at all ahead of this match thanks to a fully injury-free group available to select from.
In our view, Fla look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Agustin Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Jorginho, Erick Pulgar, Luiz Araujo, G. de Arrascaeta, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
ℹ️ Team News: Palmeiras
Due to a completely injury-free squad to choose from, the Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.
We are inclined to think that Verdão might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system using Carlos Miguel, Agustín Giay, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Joaquín Piquerez, Anibal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Raphael Veiga, José Manuel López, Felipe Anderson and Vitor Roque.
⚡ Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Palmeiras might need a bit of good fortune to put one past this Flamengo side who we think should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We’re going for a hard-fought 1-0 win for Flamengo at the end of this game.
It should be a good one.
