Flamengo

WWLWDW

Flamengo will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 0-1 Copa Libertadores victory versus Palmeiras.

In that match, Flamengo had 60% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Flamengo was Danilo (67'). At the other end, Palmeiras got 9 shots at goal with 0 on target.

Matches featuring Flamengo have proved to be exciting ones of late with high scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past half dozen clashes alone, the sum total of 20 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 14 of them accredited to Flamengo. That pattern might not be continued into this game, though.

Their past results show that Flamengo:

• have not lost a league tie with Ceará in their last 5 games.
• have not emerged victorious against Ceará in their last 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 22 home league matches. What a fantastic run.

🗞️ Team News: Flamengo

Pedro (Forearm fracture) and Allan (Heel spur) will not be able to play for Flamengo boss Filipe Luís.

In our view, Fla may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Danilo, Leo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Erick Pulgar, Jorginho, Jorge Carrascal, G. De Arrascaeta, Samuel Dias Lino and Bruno Henrique.

📰 Team News: Ceará

Ceará manager Leo Condé has a number of players out of action. Luiz Otávio (Torn knee ligaments) and Pedro Henrique (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

We believe Vovô will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Bruno, Fabiano Silva, Marcos Victor, Eder, Rafael Ramos, Dieguinho, Fernando Sobral, Antonio Galeano, Vinicius Zanocelo, Paulo Baya and Pedro Raul.

💭 Prediction

It must be said that Ceará won’t have much of a chance to make much of an impression against a Flamengo outfit who will most probably boss every aspect of the game, should it unfold as we are expecting it to.

We predict a resounding 4-0 belting at the minimum for Flamengo at the end of the 90 minutes.
