Flamengo vs Grêmio Prediction: Cariocas touching the sky

Flamengo vs Grêmio: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 31, 2025

Flamengo crushed Vitória at Maracanã with an 8-0 victory. The Cariocas set a new record for the biggest win in the history of the Brasileirão since the current format was adopted. Filipe Luís' team is highly motivated to secure another victory in the upcoming game.

Flamengo: Form and statistics

Wonderful. Brilliant. Devastating. Any of these words perfectly describes Flamengo's performance in the last match. The Cariocas showed that they are on a higher level and are the big favorites to win the title. At 3 minutes, Flamengo was already winning 2-0, leaving the Baianos completely knocked out and unable to react. Flamengo played attacking football from the first to the last minute, with technique and creativity always on display. Flamengo's midfield, with Jorginho, Saúl, and Arrascaeta, is of incredible quality, and it will be hard for any team to block these experienced players. Winger Samuel Lino also greatly increased the quality of the team on the left side. The signings of players who played in Europe gave Flamengo a touch of class that other Série A teams do not have. Pedro, with three goals, and Samuel Lino, with two, were at a very high level. The Scarlet Black remains in first place, but did not increase its lead, as all of its direct opponents won.

Flamengo: Lineup

Alex Sandro picked up an injury, and Ayrton Lucas should replace him. Jorginho is doubtful for the game.

🔖Flamengo starting lineup (4-3-3)

Rossi – Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas – Saúl, Jorginho, Arrascaeta – Plata, Pedro, Samuel Lino

⛔️Out: Alex Sandro, Pulgar (injured)

👤Head Coach: Filipe Luís

Grêmio: Form and statistics

Grêmio drew 0-0 at home with Ceará, disappointing its fans. More was expected from Mano Menezes' team, which had won 3-1 away against Atlético Mineiro in the previous round. Once again, Grêmio showed difficulties in building play and confirmed that it is a team more suited to defending. The Gaúchos lack creativity in midfield and play predictably, making it easy for their opponents. Ceará is an organized team and had no trouble containing Grêmio's attacks. The game did not have many scoring opportunities, and the 0-0 score reflected what happened on the pitch. The Tricolor is in 14th place with 24 points and now goes to the Maracanã to face the best team in Brazil. Mano Menezes is certainly concerned and will try to come up with a strategy to neutralize Flamengo's suffocating attack.

Grêmio: Lineup

Central defender Balbuena broke his ankle and will be out for the rest of the season. Dodi and Carlos Vinicius are back after being suspended. Alex Santana received his third yellow card and can’t play.

🔖Grêmio starting lineup (4-3-3)

Volpi – Marcos Rocha, Kannemann, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon – Dodi, Edenilson, Cuéllar – Olivera, Alysson, Vinicius

⛔️Out: Balbuena, Riquelme, Camilo, Villasanti, João Lucas, Gustavo Martins, Monsalve, Ely (injured), Alex Santana (suspended) 

👤Head Coach: Mano Menezes

Flamengo vs Grêmio match prediction 31 August 2025

Flamengo is playing spectacular football and is clearly the favorite. The Cariocas' confidence is sky high, and they seem unstoppable at the moment. Grêmio is having a disappointing season and does not seem capable of causing problems for Flamengo, but in this league, anything can happen. The Gaúchos defend well, but the question is whether they will be able to contain Flamengo's overwhelming attack. As the odds for a Flamengo victory are very low, I will bet again on a game with more than two goals, as I did in the match against Vitória.
