Why Bet on Flamengo?
Coach Jorge Sampaoli’s Flamengo seems to be starting to get back on track again. The team from Rio de Janeiro has just beaten Racing, from Argentina, in the Copa Libertadores. Now is approaching the spot that puts the team in the knockout stages.
In addition to the good performance in the continental tournament, the Fla is five games unbeaten in the Brasileirão. In these recent rounds, they won four matches and drew only one (against Cruzeiro, at Maracanã).
Flamengo fans are starting to believe in this team again, after a few months of instability and poor performance. Having won many titles in recent years, it is in crisis when it fails to relive its golden moments.
The expectation for the game against Grêmio is a crowded Maracanã, with fans screaming and supporting their team from the beginning to the end of the game. Pedro and De Arrascaeta scored goals again and were protagonists in the most important moments. If they are on an inspired day, the visitors’ defense will have a lot of work to stop them.
Why Bet on Grêmio?
Grêmio returned from the second division this year but seems not to have felt the difference in playing at a higher level. Coach Renato Gaúcho, a legend of the club, managed to put together a competitive squad that plays according to its superstar: the Uruguayan striker Luís Suárez.
Tricolor dos Pampas faced difficult opponents in the last three rounds and won all three: 2-1 in São Paulo; 2-1 at Athletico and 3-1 at Internacional. Renato Gaúcho’s team has confidence at the heights and should complicate the game for Flamengo.
Striker Luís Suárez will have a great opportunity to show everyone that he is still a world-renowned striker. In addition to him, Grêmio has good players, such as defender Kannemann, defensive midfielder Villasanti, and lateral Fábio, who played in Europe for many seasons.
Their hopes lie in the experience of its players and its coach, who is used to facing Flamengo and knows most of its players (having been in charge of the Fla a few years ago).
Final Betting Analysis: Flamengo vs. Grêmio
Flamengo vs. Grêmio will be a game full of attractions. On the one hand, the hosts will have a crowded Maracanã, which will certainly support their team from the start of the game. On the other hand, the visitors will bring the excellent Luís Suárez, “El Pistolero”, to try to surprise the host team.
The expectation is for a game with a good amount of goals. Playing at home, and with the concentration that the athletes have shown, Flamengo should beat Grêmio in this game.
If you put $100 into Flamengo’s win, you could get $54 back for a total payout of $154.
