Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Santos?
Santos lost to Corinthians – their biggest rival – in the last round and increased the pressure on their players. After the defeat, fans threw objects on the field in protest, causing huge turmoil and making it difficult for athletes from both teams to leave.
The climate for the Peixe is terrible: Neymar’s favorite team has not won for 5 games and is getting closer and closer to the relegation zone. It is in 13th place, with 13 points conquered in 11 games.
Despite the difficulties, Santos will play at home against Flamengo, at their legendary stadium in Vila Belmiro, where historic players paraded their talent – Pelé, Neymar, Robinho. Their rivals are also under pressure after losing to Red Bull Bragantino 4-0 in the last round.
Why Bet on Flamengo?
Flamengo was looking for its third consecutive victory in the Brasileirão but saw its streak interrupted by Red Bull Bragantino in the last round. The 4-0 defeat was something that not even the most pessimistic of fans would have imagined.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli’s team seemed to be on a very positive trend, piling up victories and creating alternatives to the problems previously presented under the command of other coaches.
The defeat removed Flamengo from the top positions and made the team distance itself from Palmeiras and Botafogo, who remain firmly in the leadership of the Brasileirão. Despite the setback, it has a more qualified squad with more options to reverse unpredictable situations.
Final Betting Analysis: Santos vs. Flamengo
In the last 20 times that Santos and Flamengo faced each other, the team from Rio de Janeiro won 9 matches, lost 6, and drew 5. This retrospect indicates Flamengo’s superiority over its rival and not even the home factor should be decisive to ensure Santos’ win.
Given this scenario, we believe in the Fla’s victory.
If you put $100 into Flamengo’s win, you could get $240 back for a total payout of $340.
