Flamengo vs Goias Prediction and Betting Tips | May 10th 2023

Flamengo and Goias square off at the Maracana in round five of the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday.

The Verdão will be looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of the last eight meetings between the teams since September 2014.

Flamengo failed to get their season up and running as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Athletico Paranaense last Sunday.

Jorge Sampaoli’s men have now gone three consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming one draw since their 8-2 hammering of Maringa in round three of the Copa do Brasil on April 27.

After a slow start to the season, Flamengo currently sit 16th in the Serie A table, level on three points with Thursday’s visitors.

Goias, on the other hand, were handed a second consecutive league defeat as they were thrashed 5-0 by Palmeiras last Sunday.

Sandwiched between the two losses, Emerson Ávila’s men picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Gimnasia y Esgrima in Group G of the Copa Sudamericana on May 4.

Goias head into Thursday on a run of three defeats in their last four away matches in the league and will be looking to end this dry spell.
