Athletico Paranaese vs Flamengo Predictions

Sunday’s Brazilian Serie A action sees Athletico PR doing battle with Flamengo. An open and exciting game is set to be in order as the two sides fight for the points on offer.

There’s currently a great feeling surrounding Athletico PR and spirits are high coming into this clash. Tiago Nunes’ troops claimed the Brazilian Cup crown a couple of weeks ago, assuring their place in next year’s Copa Libertadores and have since gone 5 league matches unbeaten, with a 2-2 draw at Corinthians in midweek prolonging their streak.

Up to 9th in the league with a decent points haul of 35 points from 24 games, the hosts are also enjoying a good campaign in Serie A and won’t be relaxing in the games left to play despite little pressure being on them. Having won 4 of their last 6 home games, Athletico are very strong with their own fans behind them and will be looking to be so once again this weekend with the leaders in town.

Indeed, the Flamengo juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down, with a 3-1 win over Atletico Mineiro putting the side 8 points clear at the top of the table. The title is Jorge Jesus’ troops’ to lose now and with quality all over the pitch that is simply unrivalled in the division, that doesn’t look likely.

Although they have huge financial muscle behind them by Brazilian standards, you do have to take your hat off to Flamengo and the way in which they’re playing. They’ve now won an impressive 17 of 24 matches and having plunged home a huge average of 2.21 goals a game, it’s not particularly hard to see why, with their firepower too much for opposing teams.

Ultimately, we think this will be a cracking game packed full of attacking action. Athletico and Flamengo are amongst the most aggressive and attacking teams in Brazil and though Flamengo are extremely strong, Athletico are in good form and should be able to give them a real run for their money on their own patch.

All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks by the far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. The last 4 meetings between the two have seen goals at both ends and given Athletico’s last 6 outings have also seen both sides score, we believe a 2-2 draw could well be on the cards come full time.
