Flamengo will hope to close in on league leaders Palmeiras when they host Sao Paulo in their next Serie A game. Reigning champions Flamengo are second in the standings, while Sao Paulo sit just outside the continental football slots. Sao Paulo’s five straight defeats on the road don’t cover them in glory, and this prediction doesn’t go their way either.
Flamengo are locked in the title race, targeting a fourth league gong in eight seasons. Ahead of this encounter, they trail the league leaders by seven points but with a game in hand.
In their last two matches, Flamengo dished out heavy defeats, scoring seven times as they overcame Coritiba (3-0) and Chapecoense (4-0).
In these teams’ reverse meeting, Sao Paulo posted a 2-1 win. However, on their last visit here, they lost 2-0, extending their winless run in Serie A away to Flamengo to five.
They are looking to halt that, but two straight defeats don’t leave the best impression. The visitors are coming off losses against promoted sides Athletico-PR (2-1) and Remo (1-0).
That means they are now without a league win in six straight outings, having last posted a league victory in April when they beat Mirassol 1-0. Sampa have only managed seven wins in their 19 league encounters so far, losing eight times.
