Flamengo and Sao Paulo set for a draw
In the early hours of Tuesday, Flamengo and Sao Paulo go head-to-head in a big game at the top of the Brazilian Serie A.
Flamengo are currently top of the table, four points ahead of the third-place visitors and also second-place Atletico Mineiro.
The home side heads into this game on the back of a seven-game unbeaten run in Serie A. In fact, a 1-1 draw at Palmeiras last time out in the league ended a five-game winning run for the team from Rio.
Their recent games have been very close, low scoring affairs in Serie A, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last seven league outings.
Flamengo’s home record has been the key to their lofty position in the Brazilian top-flight. The home side has won their last three home games in Serie A, while also keeping clean sheets in five of their last six league outings on home soil.
The fact, they have lost just three of their last 25 home games in the Brazilian top-flight suggests they are tough opponents on their own patch.
Sao Paulo are on a decent run of results in Serie A, winning five of their last seven league outings. The visitors have also lost just two of their last 21 league games.
However, drawing games have been a big problem in recent months, as they drawn nine of their last 19 games in Serie A.
Sao Paulo’s recent away record in the Brazilian top-flight is inconsistent. The visitors have lost just once in their last seven games on their travels in the league, though, which comes back to them being a tough side to beat.
These two are no doubt two of the better teams in the Brazilian Serie A. It is tough to separate them. Therefore, it is no surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low-scoring draw.
