Fluminense vs Flamengo Prediction: Betting on Flamengo's minimum win

The Rio derby will occur in the eighth round of the Brazilian Serie A, where Fluminense will face Flamengo. Recall that the Tricolour and Mengao have played each other three times this season, and so far, Flamengo has not beaten Fluminense. Despite these statistics, the bookmakers favor the future formal visitors in the pairing.

Fluminense has a seven-match unbeaten streak and a two-match winning streak. After beating Fortaleza 1:0, Fluminense beat Oriente Petrolero in the South American Cup. Fluminense is seventh in the Brasileirao standings, three points behind leading Corinthians. Fluminense's home record, meanwhile, is only 16th in the division, +1=1-1, 2-2 goal difference.

Flamengo has a five-match unbeaten streak, a three-match winning streak in the Libertadores Cup over Universidad Católica and Sporting Cristal, and a 1:0 win over Goias in the Brazilian league. Flamengo is just 14th in the Brazilian league table, nine points behind leading side Corinthians on five points. Flamengo's home stats are 10th in the division, and we remind you that Flamengo and Fluminense share the Maracana, so it's worth paying attention to the Red and Black's home stats. This state of affairs does not suit Mengao, so we expect maximum effort from Flamengo in the upcoming game.

The Flamengo players have had a grudge against Fluminense since the start of the season. And the Serie A standings force Mengao to play exclusively to win on Monday night. Tricolor is a strong and dangerous opponent. However, we believe that Flamengo can win at the Maracana. As for the totals, we don't expect a high score from the upcoming game.
