Palmeiras will receive their toughest opponent of the year: Flamengo. Once again, the hosts will face second place in Brasileirão. In the last round, they visited Corinthians and beat the team from the state of São Paulo by 1-0, widening the distance between them.
Now, against Flamengo, Palmeiras intends to do the same. However, the upcoming duel tends to be much more complicated than the one last week against Corinthians, because Flamengo has been playing very well and has a very qualified team.
The coach Abel Ferreira will have to be attentive to keep the momentum of Flamengo, which is at 11 games without losing.
Let’s understand a little better the moments of the teams, below, through a more detailed statistical analysis.

Why Bet on Palmeiras?
Palmeiras is a very competitive team, which concedes few goals and usually wins their away games. In the last three matches they played, the team scored 4 goals and did not concede any.
In 22 games in the Brasileirão, El Verdão won 14 games, drew 6, and lost only two. The team scored 37 goals, conceded 14, and has 48 points now, before the game against Flamengo. It comes from 5 wins in the League and will try for the sixth consecutive victory tomorrow, in its stadium, the beautiful Allianz Parque.
The teams drew their first duel, held at Maracanã. The score of 0-0 demonstrated the balance between them, a situation that could happen again in this next meeting.
Palmeiras score most of their goals in set pieces, so the good participation of Gustavo Scarpa and Raphael Veiga will be crucial to winning this great duel.
Why Bet on Flamengo?
Coach Dorival Júnior’s Flamengo has surprised everyone with his good football and high efficiency in finishing. Midfielder Arrascaeta remains the team’s best player, but forward Pedro, who is being scouted to be the Brazil team’s forward at the World Cup, has been very important in the team’s recent victories.
El Fla is alive in all the competitions it disputes, maintaining the high level of its performance in all of them. The truth is that the team has a good chance of reaching the final in the Cups (Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores), but the league title still seems far away.
However, this distance could decrease, and a late hunt for a triplet can be on the cards if they get the win.
Pedro, Gabigol, and Arrascaeta will need to be on an inspired afternoon to help Flamengo in the fight for the national title and beat Palmeiras by any means necessary.
Final Betting Analysis: Palmeiras vs. Flamengo
Palmeiras is considered a favorite because they play at home in this game. The teams are very balanced, but we still believe in Flamengo’s recent momentum.
Our best pick for this game is a 2-1 win for Flamengo.
