Flamengo vs Cuiaba Prediction and Betting Tips | July 6th 2024
Flamengo welcome Cuiaba to the Maracana Stadium in round 15 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Saturday. Tite’s men have won their last seven home matches across all competitions and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive run.
Flamengo turned in another performance of the highest quality as they cruised to a 4-2 victory over 10-man Atletico Mineiro on Wednesday.
The Rubro-Negro have won all but one of their most recent five matches and are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions since mid-May.
With 30 points from 14 matches, Flamengo currently sit at the top of the Serie A table, three points above second-placed Botafogo.
Cuiaba, on the other hand, were sent back down to earth last time out as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Botafogo at Arena Pantanal.
Before that, Petit’s men were on a five-game unbeaten run, claiming back-to-back wins over Fortaleza and Sao Paulo before playing out three consecutive stalemates.
With 13 points from 14 matches, Cuiaba are currently 15th in the Serie A standings but could move level with 12th-placed Criciuma with a win this weekend.
