Cruzeiro have won their last three Serie A matches and are unbeaten in eight of their last nine home fixtures across all competitions. The Black Beast welcome Flamengo to Mineirão in the Brazilian Serie A Round 24 fixture on Sunday, just three days after being knocked out of the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 by the same opponents. They have avoided defeat in both of their previous meetings with Flamengo at Mineirão, leading us to back the hosts in our prediction. 

Cruzeiro now have their full focus on the domestic scene after their Copa Libertadores Round of 16 exit to Flamengo. Samuel Lino's 62nd-minute strike condemned them to a 2–1 defeat in the second leg on Thursday, sending Flamengo through with a 3–2 aggregate victory.

The Black Beast are just two points outside the top four in the league standings and could strengthen their chances of returning to Copa Libertadores next season with a win on Sunday. They defeated Corinthians 2–1 away in their last Serie A outing to make it three consecutive league victories and have lost just one of their last nine home fixtures across all competitions. 

Flamengo extended their unbeaten run in competitive fixtures to nine matches following Thursday's Copa Libertadores win. However, the Evil One have failed to win two of their last three away matches and are winless in their previous two visits to Cruzeiro.

Our Cruzeiro vs Flamengo Prediction

With three consecutive Serie A wins and a solid recent run on at home, Cruzeiro head into this clash as a no mean opposition. They will not only be out to strengthen their top-four push but also avenge Thursday's defeat to the visitors in the Copa Libertadores.

Moreover, Flamengo have struggled in recent visits to Mineirão and their not-so-stellar recent record on the road suggests things are not likely to be easy on Sunday. Our Cruzeiro vs Flamengo prediction : Cruzeiro or Draw.
