Flamengo are coming from a tough away game in Colombia and will walk into another tough game away to Santos in the Brazilian topflight. Going into this game, hosts Santos are seventh in the standings with 19 points while Flamengo have 18 points in ninth place. Santos have no win in their last four matches but have only lost once in the last five; they are coming from a 1-1 away draw with Deportivo Tachira in Venezuela. This was the fourth time in five matches that they conceded, and they’ve failed to score in two of the last five matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. In nine Serie A matches, Santos have managed just one win, and that was against struggling Juventude. They have only one clean sheet in the last seven matches.

Flamengo haven’t had a very smooth run either, but their recent form is way better than Santos’. In the last five matches, they’ve won more than Santos have managed in 11 matches – three. Three clean sheets in the last five matches also signify an improved defence and this will place them as favorites against a Santos side with just one clean sheet in 10. In their last five matches, Flamengo have failed to score in just one and twice in that run, they have scored two or more goals. They did lose in their last meeting with Santos, a home match that ended 1-0 in Santos’ favor. That, however, is their only loss in the last four meetings with Santos; they won the earlier three, and in two of them, they scored four times each.
