On Tuesday, Flamengo travel to Sao Paulo to face Ponte Preta in Serie A, as the visitors look to move back into the Copa Libertadores spots.

Ponte Preta are enduring a poor campaign in the Brazilian top-flight and are currently 18th place in the table. Eduardo Baptista’s side have won just one of their last nine outings in Serie A and have lost three of their last four league games, failing to record any wins.

Their recent Serie A games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league outings. Their home form in Serie A of late is also poor, as they have won just one of their last five games on home soil in the Brazilian top-flight.

Ponte Preta’s league games at Estadio Moises Lucarelli have been high scoring of late, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight games.

Flamengo could move into the Copa Libertadores spots with a victory in Sao Paulo. The visitors have experienced mixed fortunes of late, but their form in Serie A has been good, as the team from Rio have recorded three wins from their last five league games.

Last time out in Serie A Flamengo drew 1-1 with Avai. The game was the visitor’s seventh straight game in Serie A that has produced under 2.5 goals.

Reinaldo Rueda’s side have been poor on their travels in Serie A, failing to win in their last five away games. Their recent away games have also been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games on their travels.

Flamengo heads into this clash as the form team and Forebet predicts that the visitors will record a victory and move up the table.
