Flamengo vs Sao Paulo

Flamengo are back to domestic action after their FIFA Club World Cup campaign and host Sao Paulo in a Brazilian Serie A fixture.

The hosts are setting the pace at the top of the table and often do their best work in front of their fans. They should have too much for the visitors, who are looking off colour lately.

Flamengo News

Flamengo can be proud of their campaign at the FIFA Club World Cup after reaching the knockout stage. They lost only once in the tournament, a 4-2 defeat to German giants Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

Sitting top of the Brazilian Serie A, Flamengo will return to domestic action hoping to pick up where they left off. Felipe Luis' team are unbeaten in their last seven home matches across all competitions, claiming six wins in that run, including a 5-0 victory over Fortaleza in their previous league fixture.

The victory over Fortaleza highlights Flamengo's attacking quality and they have scored over 1.5 goals in six of their last eight matches across all competitions. Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the fulcrum of the team’s attack and has nine Serie A goals this season.

Sao Paulo News

Sao Paulo come into the clash in need of a turnaround in fortunes as they currently sit in the bottom half of the table. Luis Zubeldia's team have lost three of their last four matches and were beaten 3-1 at home by Vasco Da Gama in their previous fixture.

Things are just as difficult for Sao Paulo on their travels as they are winless in their last five away matches in the league. They have lost the last two in that run, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Bahia in their previous fixture on the road.

Poor defending has been one of the problems for Sao Paulo, who are without a clean sheet in their last eight matches across all competitions. However, they often try to balance things out at the other end of the pitch, and this has seen their last seven matches produce over 1.5 goals.

Head to Head

Flamengo have six wins and three draws while Sao Paulo have been victorious three times in the last 13 matches. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in a friendly in January, while the hosts earned a 2-1 victory in last season’s home meeting.

Verdict

Flamengo v Sao Paulo

Flamengo have won six of their last seven home matches across all competitions and should be too strong for Sao Paulo, who have lost three of their last four fixtures. The hosts have earned a win and over 1.5 goals in four of their last seven home matches and could be set for a repeat.

De Arrascaeta has been the standout player for Flamengo this season and could be backed to add to his nine league goals on Saturday.
