Prediction published on 07/07/2023, 16:09  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Palmeiras and Flamengo will face off, hoping to stay in the top four of the Brazilian Serie A. Hosting this game, Palmeiras are fourth on 23 points, two points below Flamengo who are third. Recent matches haven’t come with friendly results for Palmeiras. Their only win in the last five matches was a Copa Libertadores win over Bolivar. The 1-0 loss to Sao Paulo in the last game was the third in five matches. In their last three league games, they have no win. Palmeiras have also failed to score in three of the last five matches in all competitions. The hosts’ recent woes are down to their defensive performances. They have one clean sheet only in the last five matches. Playing at home in the Serie A, Palmeiras have no clean sheet in their last seven games. Their last home league match ended in a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo.

Flamengo have the chance to end a five-game run without a win against Palmeiras. They meet Palmeiras on the back of four straight wins and should be very confident. Flamengo last beat Palmeiras in 2021. In the last four meetings, they’ve lost twice – the most recent, 4-3 in the Supercopa. However, after scoring two or more in each of the last four games, they will be favorites here. Flamengo are coming from a 2-1 win over Athletico Paranaense. That was the third time in five that they failed to keep a clean sheet. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Flamengo have seven wins in 10 league matches and have only failed to score in one of those matches. They’ve suffered two defeats in 10 matches in the league.
