Prediction published on 27/09/2022, 15:29  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Fortaleza haven’t had a great season, and it isn’t bound to get any better as they head into their next, a home game against title-chasing Flamengo. The hosts are 14th in the league standings with 31 points, while Flamengo are fourth on 45 points heading into Match Day 28. Up to this point, Fortaleza have managed just eight wins in the league and are three points above the relegation region. They go into this game winless in the last three matches, and having lost two of them. Twice in the three matches they’ve conceded more than a goal but they’ve scored in each of their last five matches. Fortaleza have two clean sheets in five matches, and playing at home, they’ve won two of their last three games.

Flamengo are coming from a 2-1 loss at home to Fluminense, a loss that saw them drop from third to fourth. This was the first time they conceded more than a goal in the last five games and they come into this one with just one clean sheet in their last five games. They’ve also scored more than a goal in just one of their last five matches. In four of Flamengo’s last five matches, both teams have scored. Though only two of the five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Flamengo are undefeated in their last nine away matches across all competitions and in that run, they’ve managed seven wins. Flamengo’s fine run of form this season means they aren’t only league title contenders; they are also in the Brazilian Cup and Copa Libertadores finals.
