Prediction published on 03/06/2022, 14:30  by Indran in Football Predictions

Flamengo plays host to Fortaleza at the Maracana in this match in the Brazilian Serie A. The home team are in eighth position with 12 points while the visitors are last on the table with two points. Flamengo have won their last two league matches and are unbeaten in their last three games. The league table is still very congested as the season is still in its infancy and this can be seen in the fact the Flamengo in eighth place are only three points behind the first placed team. Flamengo have won five of their last six matches across all competitions with their unbeaten run standing at six matches. They also have a stellar home record with just one defeat in their last eight matches with six wins and a draw. Flamengo are unbeaten in their last six matches against Fortaleza, winning five of the matches.

Fortaleza are yet to pick up their first win of the season and missed a golden opportunity in their last match when they lost 1-0 to fellow strugglers Ceara. They have only themselves to blame as they had a man sent off early in the game and played with 10 men for most of the match. In eight games this league season their best results have been two drawn matches. Fortaleza have only been struggling in the league but strangely their form in the Copa Libertadores has been excellent as they progressed to the knockout stage after finishing second in their group. They have had no problems playing away from home as they have won three of their last four away match across all competitions.
