Flamengo vs Vitória: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 26, 2025

Flamengo leads the Brasileirão and wants to increase its advantage over Palmeiras. The Cariocas are very confident ahead of their home game against Vitória, a team fighting to escape relegation.

Flamengo: Form and statistics

The Scarlet-Black played two consecutive games at the Beira-Rio against Internacional and won both. In the last league round, Flamengo beat Inter 3-1, increasing the gap to Cruzeiro, which drew with Mirassol. Palmeiras beat Botafogo away and seems to be the most dangerous opponent for the Mengão. At 12', Flamengo was already winning with two goals from striker Pedro. The Cariocas had no trouble controlling the game and increased their lead to 3-0 thanks to Plata's goal at 62'. Borré reduced the deficit to 1-3 at 92', but it was too late. Filipe Luís' team did not leave Porto Alegre and beat Internacional again a few days later, this time in the Copa Libertadores. Flamengo had won 1-0 at home in the first leg of the Round of 16 and won 2-0 in the second leg. Arrascaeta scored in the 27th minute, and Pedro sealed the result in the 88th minute. Flamengo's superiority in the three games against Inter was striking. The Rio de Janeiro club will now face Estudiantes in the quarter-finals.

Vitória: Form and statistics

The Barra's Lion drew 2-2 at home with Juventude in an exciting match. Vitória wasted two points at home against a direct rival, in a game in which the Baianos were winning 2-0. Just 10 minutes into the match, the visitors were reduced to ten after Cipriano received a red card. The Juventude center back grabbed Cantalapiedra as he was heading towards Jandrei's goal. Renato Kayzer scored for Vitória in the 32nd and 46th minutes, and it looked like the winner was decided. However, Neris missed the ball while trying to kick it and hit Taliari in the face. The referee showed the Vitória player a red card, leaving both teams with ten men. Juventude intensified the pressure to reduce the deficit and managed to do so in the 81st minute through Igor Formiga following a corner kick. The Gaúchos believed in the draw and in stoppage time, Fabrício, Vitória's right winger, handled the ball inside his area. The referee reviewed the images and awarded a penalty to Juventude. Veteran Nenê made no mistake, giving Juventude its first point on the road. The result was bad for the Salvador team, which has not won in five games. Vitória dropped to the relegation zone, occupying 17th place with 19 points.

Flamengo vs Vitória match prediction 26 August 2025

Any result other than a Flamengo victory would be a big surprise. The Cariocas have been performing at a level well above the other teams, but that does not mean they cannot have a bad day, as was the case when they lost to Santos. As the odds for a Flamengo victory are low, I will bet on a match with at least three goals.
