On July 9, Allianz Parque (Sao Paulo) will host the match of the 14th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Palmeiras will compete with Flamengo. The battle will start at 02:00 CET.
Palmeiras
The club regained the league title in the previous year. And it obviously did not mind keeping the 1st place in the current draw. Generally speaking, “the Verdão” had got a great start: 5 wins in 6 matches at the Copa Libertadores group stage prove it in more than proper way. At the same time, the Brasileiro also brought a 10-match unbeaten streak, however, the team “abused” draws very much – there were 4 of them, including 3 in a row in May. Still, “the Pig” seriously lost ground in the summer: it made a 0-1 misfire in the battle against Bahia, then repeated the same score, but with the leader of the draw, Botafogo. The backlog from the competitor increased even more after Abel Ferreira’s wards lost a 2-goal lead over Atletico Paranaense – the opponent “snatched” a draw in the second half of the home match.
Flamengo
The team has recently competed with Palmeiras for the right to be the strongest in Brazil. “The Vultures” finished only in the 5th place of the Serie A in 2022, but confidently compensated it with a victory in the Copa Libertadores. Speaking about the current season, the start had been far from being the best, which led to the fact that the mentor was replaced already in the middle of spring – and Jorge Sampaoli was invited. The experienced Argentine specialist justified, not immediately, but rather quickly, the higher mentioned trust. Being under his rule, the team added in the game. As a result, the Brazilian club reached the play-offs of the current Copa Libertadores, having won two last matches at the group stage. And speaking about the national championship, the club won 7 out of 9 matches after 3 defeats in a row, including both last ones, and “climbed” into the group of the leaders, overcoming Palmeiras according to the results of the previous round.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
The last time Flamengo won was in the autumn of 2021. Soon, Palmeiras won the Copa Libertadores final due to a goal in extra time in the 95th minute of the game. Both last year matches of the Serie A ended in draws and “the Pig” achieved a new success, with a 4-3 score, in the Super Cup in January.
Predictions
Bookmakers consider Palmeiras to be the favourite of the following battle. Still, Flamengo is on the move now, which cannot be said about the hosts. Thus, we bet that the guests will not lose (odd: 1.74).
