Flamengo are set to host Cuiaba in their next game in the Brazilian Serie A, both sides looking to stabilize after a poor start to the league campaign. The home team goes into this game placed 16th with 12 points, a similar tally as Cuiaba, with only goal difference separating them. For Flamengo, the irony is that they’ve done really well in the Copa Libertadores, scoring freely and defending superbly. Their problems start when they come back to domestic action. Here they are winless in their last three games leading to this and they could even drop into the relegation region. A loss to bottom placed Fortaleza catalyzed a three-game winless run and their defensive weaknesses came to the fore in the most recent game, a 3-1 loss to Internacional. Flamengo have no clean sheet in their last five matches and both teams have scored in four.

Cuiaba will see this as a chance to rise from the relegation region in the Serie A standings. They have been improving in recent matches, and coming into this game with four points from the last two games will build their confidence. They however carry defensive concerns of their own too, having managed only one clean sheet in eight matches. Both teams have scored in seven of Cuiaba’s last 10 games and while they have a fairly consistent scoring run, they will want to add more goals to their game. They’ve scored more than a goal in just one of their last 10 matches. A win over Corinthians and a draw with Bragantino in their last two games will give them the needed impetus going into this game.
