We have a great match this weekend for matchday 21 of the Brasileirão when two historical teams, São Paulo and Flamengo, face each other.
The Paulistas were in the top four, but a negative streak dropped them to sixth place, so beating the leader would help to close the gap.
The Fla, on the other hand, is on a very good positive streak that has it watching all its rivals from the top despite having a game less.

Why Bet on São Paulo?
It has been a positive tournament for São Paulo, but not so much in recent weeks. The Tricolor lost last weekend with Fortaleza by 1-0, and before that, they had two draws in a row.
As a result, they have slipped down the table and now occupy sixth place with 32 points, eight points behind the leader and their current rival, Flamengo. However, during the week, they played in the Copa do Brasil and managed to win 2-0 against Goiás, breaking their winless streak and boosting their morale.
It should also be noted that the Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri scored again after four games without doing so, and the Paulista team certainly needs him. Another good news for coach Luis Zubeldia is that Lucas Moura will be back after his yellow card suspension.
At home, São Paulo has six wins, two draws, and two defeats, scoring 15 goals and conceding eight. It has five matches without defeat in a row with four wins.
Why Bet on Flamengo?
Flamengo is once again that team that inspires respect in front of its rivals. The Mengão is at the top of the Brasileirão with 40 points, the same as Botafogo but with one game less. With 34 goals, they have the best attack of the tournament, and Pedro is the top scorer of the championship with ten goals, in addition to five assists.
The team already has three wins in a row against Criciúma (2-1), Vitoria (1-2) and Atlético Goianiense (2-0), and this week beat Palmeiras 2-0 in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil with goals by Pedro and Luiz Araújo.
In addition to the results, coach Tite is happy because he has no injuries or suspensions, so he can count on all his players for this crucial duel.
The Fla is the best away team in the tournament with five wins, three draws, and only one loss, which was a surprise 2-1 defeat against Juventude, scoring 18 goals in this condition and conceding only nine.
And let’s go back to Pedro because the striker’s level has been phenomenal this season, perhaps his best in the team. In the last ten games, only in one he did not score a goal or assist a teammate.
