Flamengo vs Lausanne: Match preview
Flamengo's season was already in full swing before the break. They had completed 17 rounds of the Brazilian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores group stage. Flamengo currently sit second in the league table with 34 points, trailing the leaders by seven points while also holding a game in hand. In the Copa Libertadores, they finished top of their group with 16 points from six matches and will face Cruzeiro in the knockout stage. They still have three friendlies to play before returning to Brazilian Serie A action at the end of July.
Lausanne failed to secure a place in the Swiss Super League Championship Group last season. They collected 42 points from 38 matches and finished ninth in the standings. Their campaign ended on a disappointing note, with four consecutive defeats. They are now preparing for the new season and have already played three friendlies, winning all three. Three more warm-up matches remain before they kick off their league campaign at the end of July against Grasshoppers.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Lausanne have won each of their last three friendly matches.
- Flamengo are already in the middle of their competitive season.

Prediction
I expect Flamengo to come away with the victory, as they are already operating at full competitive rhythm. My recommended bet is a win for the Brazilian side.
