Flamengo

WLWWDD

Flamengo will play in this match coming off the back of a 0-0 Copa Libertadores stalemate versus LDU Quito.

In that game, Flamengo managed 57% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. LDU Quito got 11 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that quality has been evident in the Flamengo defence. Flamengo have been stingy, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last 6 matches standing at 3. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be continued on here.

Heading into this contest, Flamengo have not been beaten in their last 6 league matches at home.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their prior head to head meetings dating back to 21/05/2023 tells us that Flamengo have won 3 of them and Corinthians 1, with the number of draws standing at 2.

9 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 6 of them for Fla and 3 for Timão. The average goals per game has been 1.5.

🗞️ Team News: Flamengo

Matías Viña (Knee injury) and Alex Sandro (Hamstring injury) won’t be available for Flamengo manager Filipe Luís.

It looks as if Fla may well kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Agustin Rossi, Wesley, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Erick Pulgar, Nicolas de la Cruz, Gerson, G. De Arrascaeta, Michael and Bruno Henrique.

🗞️ Team News: Corinthians

Corinthians manager Orlando Ribeiro has to choose a team with limited availability. Rodrigo Garro (Knee injury) and Talles Magno (pneumonia) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that Timão seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system, giving starts to Matheus Donelli, Leonardo Mana, Felix Torres, Gustavo Henrique, Fabricio Angileri, Andre Carrillo, Raniele, Breno Bidon, Angel Romero, Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Flamengo can get a couple of goals in this one when they come up against Corinthians, who might well find it difficult to score themselves.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 2-0 victory for Flamengo at full-time.
