The visiting Cruzeiro U20 side should be favourites in this visit to Flamengo RJ U20, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
The hosts Flamengo saw competitive action as recent as one days ago, playing in the Carioca U20. Thankfully the previous game, versus America RJ U20, was also a home game here at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro. The away team is better rested.
Flamengo RJ U20 form and stats
Flamengo RJ U20 have played three Brasileiro U20 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Flamengo drew their last game, also a home match. America RJ U20 was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Preceding that match was the home Copa Do Brasil U20 game against Goias U20 that was lost 0-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Flamengo RJ U20 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Flamengo RJ U20 as they are travelling to their away game against Botafogo U20 in the Carioca U20. That match is three days after this one.
The Flamengo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Flamengo defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Cruzeiro U20 form and stats
Things could have gone better for Cruzeiro U20 in their Brasileiro U20 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Cruzeiro go into this game after a win, the home game against Palmeiras U20 that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fluminense U20 wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.
Cruzeiro are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.
Cruzeiro U20 are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Cruzeiro have conceded 7 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last three meetings between the teams: Flamengo won zero, Cruzeiro U20 won two and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Flamengo RJ U20 missing players
