Flamengo, Recent FormFlamengo head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 away win against Atletico Goianiense in their last league encounter. During that encounter they had 68% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
Manager Adenor Leonardo 'Tite' Bacchi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Pedro Abreu dos Santos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Flamengo's last 6 league games.
Sao Paulo, Recent FormSao Paulo will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Fortaleza who sit 14 places above them in the table. In that game they had 71% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Fortaleza who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Jonathan Calleri will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sao Paulo.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Flamengo who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Sao Paulo.
