Why Bet on Flamengo?

The leaders and hosts will try to get some points and retain the lead after their most recent draw. With that result, their season comes to nine wins, four draws, and two losses with 31 points.

They accumulated three wins, a draw, and a loss in the last five. The curious team is that they share the same form with Botafogo and Palmeiras, but that is a dangerous game to play. They have the same goal difference as the O Fogo (12) and surpass Palmeiras by just one. The conclusion is that things are pretty tight, and any more mistakes could take them to third place fast.

Something in their favor is their excellent attack, the best in the league with 27 goals. That is despite the exclusion of Gabigol, as Pedro has stood out as an excellent replacement and another exciting appearance from the Brasileirão that will raise attention in the old continent sooner rather than later. The Brazilian leads the goalscoring charts with seven goals.

Interestingly, the eight most recent home games of the Mengão in the Série A have all delivered two or three goals, with both teams on target in seven of these clashes.

Why Bet on Fortaleza?

Fortaleza are looking to keep their momentum after beating another Rio de Janeiro team such as Fluminense. That result improved their numbers to six wins, five draws, and three losses, placing them in the 8th spot on the board, only eight points behind the leaders and current opponents. With three wins in their last five matches, they have improved their situation greatly recently.

The Leao do Pici,has been having a little bit of success at home, but it has been struggling away. They are winless in seven away games at the Série A. Their last success was against a weak version of São Paulo at the beginning of the season.

Final Betting Analysis: Flamengo vs. Fortaleza

Fortaleza have found the going extremely tough on their top-flight travels of late, with their previous four fixtures seeing them concede nine goals on the way to securing one point.

Flamengo, is on a pretty strong streak, with ten wins in their most recent 14 home games, not to mention keeping six clean sheets on the spin.

We believe the locals have what it takes to take the three points, but will have to work for a disputed 2-1 win.

Go for a victory for the Fla at 1.61. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $61 for a total payout of $161.
