Flamengo vs Cuiaba Prediction

Flamengo Form

Flamengo recorded two wins in their last three matches, but started off by losing 2-1 against Juventude. They responded by beating Cruzeiro 2-1, and followed that up by winning 2-4 against Atletico MG. Flamengo won five of their last six Serie A matches at Maracana, scoring ten and conceding six along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

Going into the season as a title candidate in the Serie A, Flamengo are currently on track to fulfil the expectations.

Cuiaba Form

In their last three matches, Cuiaba drew 1-1 with Corinthians, drew 1-1 with Red Bull Bragantino and lost 1-2 against Botafogo RJ. Cuiaba won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches says ten goals conceded and eight scored.

They had their sights set on gold, but Cuiaba could soon be forced to readjust the target to qualifying for Europe.

We expect Flamengo to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Cuiaba. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.

Flamengo scored 18 goals and conceded seven in their last seven games against teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. They collected 18 points and six victories. Cuiaba claimed one wins and three points in their last four games against teams from the top six. They scored two times in these matches, but also conceded eight goals.
