Flamengo vs Atletico Goianiense Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2024
Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Flamengo and Atletico Goianiense lock horns at the Estadio do Maracana on Saturday. Having suffered a 2-1 defeat when they met in April's season opener, Vagner Mancini’s Atletico Goianiense will be looking to get one over the hosts and end their 10-game winless run.
Flamengo moved to within three points of league leaders Botafogo on Wednesday when they picked up a 2-1 victory over Vitoria at the Estádio Manoel Barradas.
Tite’s side have now gone unbeaten in five of their last six games — claiming four wins and one draw — with a 2-1 loss against Fortaleza on July 12 being the exception.
With 37 points from 18 matches, Flamengo are currently second in the Serie A table, three points behind Botafogo, albeit with one game in hand.
In contrast, Atletico Goianiense continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Bahia last time out.
Mancini’s men have now gone 10 straight matches without a win, losing six and picking up four draws since a 2-1 victory over Fluminense on June 16.
With 12 points from 19 matches, Goianiense are currently rooted to the bottom of the table but could move level with 18th-placed Vitoria, if they secure all three points on Saturday.
