Flamengo to get back to winning ways at Cruzeiro
Prior to their last game in the Brazilian Serie A, Flamengo were in hot form having recorded four straight wins in the league. Their good run of form ended last time out when they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Gremio.
However, Flamengo have a chance to get back to winning ways when they visit sixth place Cruzeiro on Sunday night. The home side may not be easy opponents, though, as they have recorded three wins in their last four games in Serie A.
Cruzeiro have a pretty good home record, as the home side have suffered just one defeat in their last 13 outings. Three wins from their last four home games in Serie A illustrates that the team from Belo Horizonte are a good team on their own patch.
The home side are also prolific on home soil, having scored two or more goals in their last four league games at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto. A win would move Cruzeiro above Flamengo in the table.
Flamengo were in very good form prior to that defeat against Gremio and will be looking to get straight back to winning ways in this clash. The Rio outfit have the carrot of possibly moving up to second in the table.
The visitors are four games unbeaten on their travels in Serie A, winning their last two games at Bahia and Vasco Da Gama. Their recent away games in the Brazilian top-flight have been low scoring with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six away games.
One factor on Flamengo’s side is that the visitors have beaten Cruzeiro in their last three meetings in all competitions. Forebet predicts that they will make it four consecutive wins, with the visitors taking home maximum points from this encounter.
