Prediction

  • Flamengo made hard work of beating Atletico GO last time out as they needed a stoppage-time penalty from Pedro to ensure the points, despite the hosts' playing the second half with ten men. The Rubro Negro will be hoping for a better display in this duel.
  • Sao Paulo will be eager for a better performance here as they suffered a 2-1 home loss to Fortaleza on the opening weekend. Tricolor have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions.
  • Sao Paulo are unbeaten in their last four matches against Flamengo, the most recent saw them run out 1-0 winners, however, their run could come to an end here.
