Flamengo vs America MG Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd July 2023

Struggling America MG are in for a tough assignment, when going up against Flamengo this coming Saturday at Maracana. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Flamengo approach the next Serie A round as number two in the table, having claimed 27 points this season so far. With 15 games behind them, America MG amassed nine points, placing them as number 20 before their next fixture.

Flamengo came away with three points from the latest encounter with America MG. It would be a surprise if they fail do to it again, when they face each other on Saturday.

Flamengo scored 18 while allowing 11 goals against in the past ten matches. They claimed four clean sheets on the way.

America MG scored 13 goals, conceded 21 and managed one clean sheet in their previous ten matches.

The last time the pair played each other, Flamengo came out the other side as 1-2 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.

Flamengo vs America MG Prediction

Flamengo Form

Flamengo are unbeaten in their last three games after drawing 1-1 with Palmeiras, beating Athletico Paranaense 0-2 and drawing 0-0 with Fluminense. Flamengo claimed four wins in their last six Serie A matches at the Maracana. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded four and scored 11 goals.

They opened the season hopeful of medals, but in current form Flamengo even deserves a mention when talking about the title.

America MG Form

In their past three games, America MG lost 1-2 against Internacional, drew 2-2 with Atletico MG, and lost 3-1 against Coritiba. In their last six Serie A away matches, America MG failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost four, scoring eight while also conceding 15 times.

America MG were expected to struggle in the Serie A this season, and sadly for them, they remain on course for the drop.

With Flamengo in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on America MG. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.

Flamengo took 18 points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to six wins after scoring 17 times and conceding seven. America MG claimed one win and five points from their last eight encounters with teams in the top half of the Serie A, while scoring seven goals to 20 against. Flamengo claimed eight wins, three draws as well as four defeats in the Serie A this season. America MG so far pulled off two wins, three draws and nine defeats in the Serie A.
