Flamengo RJ vs Corinthians tips and predictions

No interest in big Corinthians price

On 8 points, seventh placed Flamengo RJ host 14th placed Corinthians. The visitors are just behind with 5 points.

Without much to go on, it's a tentative view this time. It's hard to see anything but a home win but their short price isn't particularly tempting. It's just that Corinthians aren't likely to come through this Flamengo RJ side.

The hosts go into the match with 11 home wins from their last 13.

The home players are finding some form on their own paddock. Flamengo RJ have scored two or more goals in 8 of their recent 13 home matches and their defensive performances should also be recognised. They've only conceded an average of 0.5 goals in their last 20 games. They'll see this clash as an opportunity to put in another strong display in defence and they're likely to keep a clean sheet.

The visitors have lacked firepower of late. They've been goalless in 5 of their last 8 matches. All the analysis in the world could be irrelevant with hindsight if their attacking players start making the right decisions in the final third. But don't bank on it.

Flamengo RJ have won 11 of the last 17 fixtures between these sides before this one.

It's possible the game ends with at least one clean sheet due to the favouritism for Flamengo RJ. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be worth a look.
