The Flamengo fans aren't used to losing here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho and will expect new points from this game. Flamengo has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of eight straight victories regardless of arena.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Flamengo as they are travelling to their away game against Gremio in the Copa Libertadores. That match is four days after this one.

The attacking power of São Paulo when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's not easy to score on São Paulo as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
