WWWWDL

Flamengo will be hoping for a better result after the 2-4 FIFA Club World Cup losing effort in their last game against Bayern Munich.

In that game, Flamengo had 51% possession and 12 shots on goal with 3 on target. For Flamengo, the goalscorers were Erick Pulgar (6' Own goal), Gerson (33') and Jorginho (55'). On the other side, Bayern Munich had 8 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Harry Kane (9', 73') and Leon Goretzka (41') scored for Bayern Munich.

Fixtures with Flamengo have often been exciting encounters of late with a lot of goalmouth action being a real hallmark. Over their past six games alone, the sum total of 20 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 14 of those belonging to Flamengo.

Coming into this contest, Flamengo haven't been defeated in their previous 10 league matches at home. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

São Paulo

WWLWLL

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Vasco da Gama in Serie A action, São Paulo and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, São Paulo managed 51% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for São Paulo was Francisco (93'). On the other side, Vasco da Gama had 14 shots at goal with 9 on target. Rayan (26'), Moreira (40') and Pablo Vegetti (69') scored for Vasco da Gama.

São Paulo have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 8 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, São Paulo have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same matches. We will find out whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Looking at their past form shows that São Paulo:

• have not emerged victorious against Flamengo when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not good.
• are without an away win for the past 8 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

📰 Team News: Flamengo

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Flamengo boss Filipe Luís to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Erick Pulgar (Metatarsal fracture) won’t play.

We think that Fla should use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Agustin Rossi, Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Nicolás De La Cruz, Jorginho, Gonzalo Plata, G. de Arrascaeta, Luiz Araujo and Bruno Henrique.

ℹ️ Team News: São Paulo

São Paulo manager Hernan Crespo has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ferreirinha (Foot injury), Jonathan Calleri (Cruciate ligament injury), Lucas Moura (Knee bruise) and Luiz Gustavo (Lung contusion) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

From our viewpoint, Tricolor Paulista seem most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 formation, going with Rafael, Nahuel Ferraresi, Alan Franco, Sabino, Cedric Soares, Marcos Antônio, Alisson, Oscar, Enzo Díaz, Ryan Francisco and André Silva.

💡 Prediction

It looks to us that Flamengo look set to create enough chances to score more than one when they face São Paulo, who may well find it hard to score.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 2-0 win for Flamengo after 90 minutes.
