Betting on Clube de Regatas do Flamengo
Little by little, Flamengo is picking up pace at the beginning of the Brasileirao season, and is already in a position to compete in continental competitions thanks to its two consecutive victories.
Under the guidance of Jorge Sampaoli, the team seems to have put aside the problems that led it to lose three straight matches in the first four matchdays. So, with nine points, it is already in ninth place in the standings.
Actually, Flamengo is one of six clubs that has scored more than ten goals in the league so far, with 12. Although it has had some defensive issues, the team has won two of its three home matches, and in those victories, it did not concede any goals.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Matheus Cunha; David Luiz, Fabricio Bruno, Leo Pereira; Ayrton Lucas, Thiago Maia, Erick Pulgar, Matheus France; Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Everton; Gabriel Barbosa.
Betting on Sport Club Corinthians Paulista
The situation for Corinthians, on the other hand, is pretty worrying, and playing this important match as visitors, and in a bad streak, shouldn’t be ideal for the team.
Coached by Vanderlei Luxemburgo, the team has strung together five matches without getting three points, as it hasn’t won since matchday 1. So, with just five points, the team is in 17th place, which corresponds to relegation spots.
With only six goals scored, Corinthians is one of the five teams with the least amount of goals in this season. In addition, it has conceded 11 goals against, and has lost all three away matches, which is not at all promising data for this crucial Flamengo vs Corinthians match.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Cássio; Fagner, Murillo, Gil, Gil, Matheus Bidu; Fausto Vera; Roni, Adson, Matheus Araujo, Róger Guedes; Yuri Alberto.
JefeBet Prediction
Although playing a derby of this magnitude is always an incentive, regardless of current form, it is no secret that Flamengo arrives much better for a commitment, which the team will also play with the support of its fans.
Between Brasileirao and Copa Libertadores, Flamengo only lost one match as a local against the leader Botafogo, and in the three celebrations, its defense left the goal untouched. This is bad news for Corinthians, since it is struggling to score and still hasn’t earned at least one point as a visitor in this edition of the Brazilian championship.
We can also add that in the 11 most recent Flamengo vs Corinthians matches at Maracaná, including Brasileirao, Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores, Flamengo only lost once and won seven times. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a home team victory.
Prediction: Flamengo Moneyline (FLA 1 – COR 0).
