Flamengo vs Cruzeiro Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa Libertadores
by Daniel Ngulu | in Copa Libertadores Predictions
Nine points separate the two sides on the Brazilian Serie A with Flamengo second on 34 points and Cruzeiro eight on 25 but this will count for little in this clash as both sides seek a first leg advantage. Flamengo negotiated their way through the group stage unbeaten, though they managed just two wins in six, and they have so far enjoyed a fine season domestically. They beat Cruzeiro 2 – 0 in the last meeting between the two sides and have managed four wins in this encounter in the last seven meetings. Flamengo’s loss to Gremio in their last match saw them relinquish the leadership of Serie A but there’s no ruling them out of contention for both the continental and domestic titles. They have lost just twice in the last 12 matches but they will want to do better defensively, having managed just one clean sheet in their last seven matches but with eight wins in their last 11 matches at home, Flamengo have a lot to look forward to when they head to this clash. In the 11 matches they have also managed eight clean sheets. They are unbeaten in their last six Copa Libertadores matches and also unbeaten in six at home in the competition, with four wins and two draws. Cruzeiro have three wins in 10 matches with just one clean sheet in those but away from home they have done fairly better, with five wins in 10. More recently though, the team has won just one of the last five away matches but they have scored in seven of their last 10 matches. In Copa Libertadores, Cruzeiro have managed four wins in the last 10 away matches.

Our Flamengo vs Cruzeiro Prediction
Flamengo beat Cruzeiro 2 – 0 in the last meeting between the two sides and apart from having garnered more points than Flamengo in the group stages, there is really little to match the two. Flamengo have picked four wins in sevben meetings with Cruzeiro and in the form they are ahead of this clash, it would be hard to bet against them. Cruzeiro’s only win over Flamengo came on post match penalties after a barren draw in Copa do Brasil. To say the least, Cruzeiro have been average when playing away from home, and especially in their past few matches against Flamengo and the hosts will be clear favorites for a first leg advantage. A bet on a home win with a 2 – 0 score could work here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
