Flamengo vs São Paulo: Bet on Flamengo to win & São Paulo to score

Flamengo, like Palmeiras, failed to win in the first round of the Brazilian Serie A, settling for only a draw. However, in the opening home match of the championship, the Scarlet-Black just have to win, especially since the club from Rio is to face their crucial rival, São Paulo.

Recall that Flamengo lost the Carioca finals to Fluminense in a 2-match confrontation. However, Copa Libertadores saw Flamengo get off to a great start, with two victories: on the road over Sporting Cristal and at home over Talleres Cordoba. In the first round of the Brazilian Serie A Flamengo had a draw with Atletico Go, the game ending with the score 1-1, as Bruno Henrique answered to the opponent's goal. Overall, Flamengo's current form is quite good, but the future home team still lacks stability.

São Paulo represents Brazil in the Copa Sudamericana, the second most important tournament of South American soccer. So far, the Tricolor has followed a consistent pattern in this tournament. In the first two rounds, two wins over Ayacucho and Everton De Vina. In the first round of Serie B, São Paulodefeated Atlético Paranaense at home, but in the Paulista, São Paulo did not succeed. The final of the state championship saw the Tricolor weaker than Palmeiras in a 2-match clash, although they beat the Greens 3-1 in their first home game.
