It's advantage Flamengo so far this season, with the 4th position in the Serie A table and hosting Athletico PR (who are placed 7th).
- Flamengo have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Athletico PR have won significantly less corners away then at home.
These teams have little in common geographically as Athletico PR have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Flamengo form and stats
5-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Flamengo so far this season. The home fans are hungry for more even though Flamengo have been steadily collecting points here at Estádio Kleber José de Andrade through three straight draws.
Happy days for Flamengo in their previous game, a fixture away at Botafogo (placed 1st) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Henrique (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.03/10. Henrique scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Flamengo as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. São Paulo are visiting.
