This weekend, we will have a great duel in the Brasileirão between two Carioca teams, Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.
The Mengão slipped off the lead in the last weeks but is nevertheless close. Still, they cannot afford to lose more points to maintain their championship aspirations.
On Vasco’s side, they are on a positive streak that has taken them out of relegation places and to the international cup spots, but they want to go for more.

Why Bet on Flamengo?
Flamengo dreams of being a champion, but that dream has hit a few bumps in the road. They are in fourth place with 44 points, six behind leaders Botafogo, and have a game in hand which could cut the gap to three.
However, the previous weekend, they lost 2-1 to Corinthians and have only managed four points from the last 15, a poor number for the Mengão’s aspirations. But that is not the worst of it. Pedro, the leading scorer of the championship with eleven goals and five assists, suffered a cruciate ligament injury and will not be able to play again this season.
It was a sensible loss for Tite’s team, who was negotiating with the French Anthony Martial, but they gave up on signing him. Gabriel Barbosa will most likely be the replacement, so the hope will be that the striker recovers the level he had and returns to be Gabigol.
The good news is that Giorgian De Arrascaeta has already recovered, although players such as Nicolás de la Cruz and Matías Viña are still in cotton wool. In addition, Carlos Alcaraz is suspended.
Why Bet on Vasco?
Vasco has had a renaissance and went from fighting for relegation to being in the fight to enter the Copa Libertadores. The Gigante da Colina has ten wins, four draws, and four defeats but needs to improve its offensive production, as 29 goals is not a high number, and it has conceded (34) more than it has scored. With 34 points, they are in ninth place, in the Copa Sudamericana zone and seven points away from the Libertadores.
It is in a great moment, with an undefeated record of five games and eleven out of 15 points. In their last match, they beat Vitória 1-0 as visitors thanks to a goal by João Victor. Precisely, in this condition, they have not fared very well, with three wins, one draw, and eight defeats.
Among the bad news is that Coutinho is not at 100% yet. However, they will wait until the last minute to see if he can make the call-up list.
The team’s top scorer is Argentine Pablo Vegetti, with eight goals. He also scored Vasco’s goal in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil to go to penalties against Athletico Paranaense and then qualify for the semifinals.
Final Betting Analysis: Flamengo vs. Vasco
Their last duel was on June 2 this year, and Flamengo crushed Vasco 1-6 away. The Mengão has five consecutive victories against this rival and an unbeaten run of 11 games. They have not lost since September 27, 2015 (1-2 at home).
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Flamengo as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.7, Vasco has 5.05, and the draw is at 3.78.
It will be a very entertaining match, with Flamengo coming in with a terrible streak and the loss of Pedro, and Vasco with an important boost. However, the return of De Arrascaeta and the history between these two clubs is important, so we believe the Fla will prevail 2-1.
Go for a win for Flamengo. If you bet $100 at 1.7, you will gain $70 for a total payout of $170.
