Flamengo vs Fortaleza Prediction: Flamengo is full of confidence

Flamengo vs Fortaleza: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on June 02, 2025

Flamengo will host Fortaleza after two crucial wins in different competitions. The Cariocas had a demanding week but came through it successfully. Fortaleza lost its last two games but qualified for the next stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Flamengo: Form and statistics

The Scarlet-Black showed that it wants to be champion by beating the leader Palmeiras 2-0 at the Allianz Parque. Before the game, the Paulistas had a four-point advantage over Flamengo and could have increased the gap to seven points if they won. Rossi, Flamengo's goalkeeper, was the game's hero by saving Piquerez's penalty in the 17th minute. In the 74th minute, the referee awarded Flamengo a penalty, and De Arrascaeta didn't miss, putting his team ahead. In the 87th minute, the Cariocas sealed the result with a goal from Ayrton Lucas. Flamengo is still in second place but is now just one point behind Palmeiras. In midweek, Filipe Luís' men needed to beat Deportivo Táchira to qualify for the next stage. The goal was achieved, but with a lot of suffering. Flamengo won 1-0 with a goal from Léo Pereira and finished second in the group. LDU Quito, Flamengo, and Central Córdoba finished with 11 points, but the best goal average qualified the Ecuadorians and the Brazilians.

Flamengo: Lineup

Wesley is available again after serving a one-match ban. Viña is about to return after a long absence. The left-back suffered a serious knee injury in August 2024. Pulgar has returned to training, but he's unlikely to play the full 90 minutes.

Rossi –Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro – Gerson, Evertton Araújo – Luíz Araújo, Arrascaeta, Everton Cebolinha – Pedro

Fortaleza: Form and statistics

The Lion is going through a difficult period, and coach Vojvoda is under massive pressure. The Argentine has done a fabulous job at the club in recent years, turning Fortaleza into one of the most fearsome sides in Brazil, but this season, things aren't going well. The Cearenses lost 2-0 at home to Cruzeiro and dropped to 16th, one place above the relegation zone. The visitors' superiority was evident and shocking for Fortaleza fans, as their team is usually strong at home. Last year in the league, Fortaleza didn't lose a single game at home, but this season, the team has lost two times in five games at the Arena Castelão. In midweek, Fortaleza had a crucial match in the Copa Libertadores and lost 1-0 to Racing in Argentina. Fortunately, Atlético Bucaramanga lost to Colo Colo, and Fortaleza qualified for the Round of 16. The goal was achieved and may give the Cearenses confidence for the rest of the season. The league will stop for a month due to the FIFA Club World Cup, and Vojvoda will work hard with his players to make them stronger for the resumption of the Brasileirão.

Fortaleza: Lineup

Marinho is back after suspension, but Pedro Augusto will not play at the Maracanã due to the red card received against Cruzeiro.

🔖Fortaleza starting lineup (4-3-3)

João Ricardo – Mancuso, Kuscevic,David Luiz, Bruno Pacheco – Zé Welison, Pochettino Emmanuel Martínez – Marinho, Lucero, Breno Lopes

⛔️Out: Lucas Sasha, Moisés (injured)

👤Head Coach: Pablo Vojvoda

Flamengo defeated Palmeiras away from home and showed that it is a serious contender for the title. Fortaleza is going through a terrible time, but has a good squad and shouldn't be underestimated.
