Flamengo vs Junior Prediction & Betting Tips

📊 Form Guide

Flamengo

WWWWDW 📈

Flamengo fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 1-5 Série A success versus Corinthians.

In that match, Flamengo managed 62% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Flamengo, goals were scored by Éverton Ribeiro (32'), Vitinho (52'), Natan (58'), Bruno Henrique (71') and Diego (86'). At the other end, Corinthians had 19 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Gil (64') scored for Corinthians.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Flamengo haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Fla have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 5 goals on the way.

Junior

LLLWWL

Since tasting defeat last time out to Barcelona SC in Copa Libertadores competition, Junior will be aiming to make amends here.

The stats don’t lie, and Junior have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals in all. In defence, El Tiburón have been far from perfect. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Flamengo look likely to get the goals that they need when they play Junior, who will not find it easy to score.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 victory for Flamengo come full-time.
