Velez Sarsfield vs Flamengo Prediction: Mengao to Create an Advantage Before Fighting back?

Prediction for the Copa Libertadores Velez Sarsfield vs Flamengo match on September 1. Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

After defeating Talleres, Velez Sarsfield played four matches in the national championship and did not win any of them, drawing with Himnasia y Esgrima, Sarmiento Junin, and Independiente and losing to Aldosivi. The situation in the standings of the Argentine championship is not rosy, just 27th place, penultimate. It is obvious that all the emotions and efforts of the future hosts are aimed at the Copa Libertadores. Another thing is that Velez has a severe opponent, perhaps the most serious available.

Flamengo's winless streak has lasted long enough and is not about to stop. For example, the Red and Blacks have only drawn twice in the last ten meetings and won 8 times in three tournaments. In the Copa Libertadores and the Cup of Brazil, Flamengo is doing very well, but Serie A took only second place, 7 points behind Palmeiras. In 14 rounds, it is realistic to win back such a handicap, but there is no doubt that the cup tournaments are a priority for Mengao. So Flamengo is going to Argentina exclusively for three points.

Flamengo regularly not only wins but also does so without conceding. For example, Mengao won seven of their last eight head-to-head encounters, six of which ended in a shutout victory for the Red and Blacks. The statistics are very telling, don't you think? And the opponents are the 27th team in the championship of, Argentina, which was lucky to get to the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores thanks largely to a lucky draw. We believe that bookmakers do not overestimate the Brazilians by any means, and Mengao has a good chance on Thursday to win and not concede.
