Prediction published on 27/05/2022, 00:18  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

The big game in the Brazilian Serie A this weekend will pit two giants – Fluminense playing host to Flamengo at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. The two sides haven’t had strong starts to the season; Fluminense go into this game placed seventh with 11 points while Flamengo are 14t on nine points. Ahead of this game, Fluminense are on a seven-match unbeaten run and in five of their last eight matches they’ve scored two or more goals. In their last game, a Copa Sudamericana clash, they thrashed Bolivia’s Oriente Petrolero 10-1 with German Cano scoring three to take his tally in the last five matches to six goals. Cano has also scored three goals in the last two matches against Flamengo. Fluminense are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Flamengo; each of the last three were in the Carioca Serie A and apart from their last meeting, Fluminense had four straight wins in meetings with Flamengo.

Flamengo had a shaky start to the season but the stability has been coming, and they get to this match unbeaten in their last five matches. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Sporting Cristal in the Copa Libertadores, which was their third straight victory, and fourth in five games. Flamengo have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches, and in this run of five games, they’ve kept three clean sheets. Pedro Guilherme has been their most outstanding player in recent times, coming into this game with three goals in the last three matches. Three of their last five games have produced over 2.5 goals and matched with Fluminense’s recent form, we expect a high scoring game here. Away from home, they have no clean sheet in the last five, with both sides scoring in the last four, each of which produced over 2.5 goals. Flamengo have conceded two in three of their last four away matches.
