The Brasileirão is on fire, with the battle at both ends of the table featuring many surprising teams. Now, Flamengo will seek to recover against the irregular Bragantino.
The Fla comes from being obliterated by Botafogo this past weekend, resulting in their fall to fourth place in the table after leading not long ago.
The Red Bulls are also in bad shape, losing against Fortaleza as locals in their last Série A game and accumulating four games without a win.

Why Bet on Flamengo?
The locals have three matches without a win, losing three places in the table in consequence. However, Flamengo is the only team at the top of the Brasileirão alive in all competitions. The schedule has been brutal recently, so their drop in level is understandable.
The Rio de Janeiro giants have twelve wins, five draws, and five losses, five points behind the leaders of the Série A with one game less played.
Their last defeat against Botafogo was pretty heavy, and they also lost as visitors against Bolivar in Bolivia for the Copa Libertadores. So, they have two losses in a row in all competitions. Their 2-0 victory in the first leg took them to the quarterfinals, where they will face Peñarol.
They must pick up the pace as Bahia (5th) is not too far behind, boasting 38 points against Flamengo’s 41.
Why Bet on Bragantino?
Located in 12th place, the visitors have seven wins, six draws, and eight losses, showing a remarkable drop in level compared with the previous season, where they fought for the title until the last few weeks. They are on a four-match winless run, landing two losses and two draws.
The Red Bulls lost against Fortaleza in the previous round of the Brasileirão at home. The issue is that even if they have been irregular through all of 2024, at least they relied on their home performance to take points.
Now, their last defeat for the league was their second in a row as locals in a few days, showing that the performance is going down no matter the place. Their first defeat at home in that streak was against Corinthians, who eliminated them from the Copa Sudamericana.
Final Betting Analysis: Flamengo vs. Bragantino
Having achieved the objectives in cup competitions, Flamengo must seek to regain terrain in the Brasileirão, and this is the perfect chance, facing a team in free fall. Bragantino has a good squad that, then again, was at the top of the table for most of last season and reached the Copa Sudamericana final not long ago, so we highly doubt that they’ll lose the category. However, this game might be too much of a challenge at this stage.
In the last nine games between these two times, there is plenty of parity, with two wins for the Fla, three for the Red Bulls, and four draws. Their last duel ended 1-1 this season when, as mentioned before, Bragantino was still solid at home.
In the Maracanã, history will be different, so we’ll go for a 2-0 win for the locals.
Go for a victory for Flamengo at 1.7. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $70 for a total payout of $170.
