Flamengo are tipped to win their upcoming Serie A fixture on Thursday, having secured eight victories in their last nine matches. This impressive run has seen them reclaim the top spot in the league standings. The recommendation is based on Flamengo’s recent dominant form and momentum, with no significant team news or other qualifications mentioned. The analysis focuses on their strong results over the past two months as the main reason for backing them to collect three points in this match.

Flamengo picked up great form in Serie A recently, and they are in a must-win situation here to keep the leading position. I will back them to beat inconsistent Vasco da Gama on Thursday.  

Key Stats  


  • Vasco da Gama have lost 2 of their last 3 matches. 
  • Flamengo have won 8 of their last 9 matches (Serie A). 

Flamengo Lead Head to Head 


These sides clashed 126 times so far and Flamengo have a 59-32 advantage in terms of victories, while 32 meetings ended without a winner. 

Mixed Results for Vasco This Month 


Vasco da Gama are having mixed results in the Brazilian Serie A, sitting in 13th place right now with 38 points after 32 rounds, which is just above the red line but also very close to Copa Sudamericana qualifiers. 

They wasted a big opportunity in mid-October, their home clash against table strugglers Remo ending in a goalless draw, followed by a 1-0 loss to Sao Paulo on the road. 

Vasco da Gama returned to winning ways last weekend, outplaying Corinthians 3-2 at home. They were behind for 88 minutes but then Marino Hinestroza scored two quick goals to complete a big comeback. 

Vasco also made it to the Copa Sudamericana semifinals, won the first tie against Boca Juniors 1-0 in Argentina, but then lost 3-1 at home last week. 

Flamengo Leading the Title Race 


Flamengo are close to defending the Brazilian Serie A title, currently topping the table with 70 points after 32 rounds with six matches left to be played (one point above Palmeiras). 

Leonardo Jardim's side is currently on a three-game winning streak which started in mid-October by defeating Fluminense 1-0 at home and Bahia 3-0 on the road. 

On Tuesday night, they were tagged big favorites at home against Atletico Mineiro but had a lot of problems here. Jorge Carrascal secured three points after converting a 99th minute penalty, pushing Flamengo to a dramatic 3-2 victory. 

Rubro-Negro also made it to the Copa Libertadores semifinals, faced Estudiantes, both games ending without goals and then they lost on penalties.

Vasco da Gama (4-2-3-1) Leo Jardim; Jose Luis Rodríguez, Alan Saldivia, Robert Renan, Cuiabano; Alan Lescano, Santiago Sosa; Marino Hinestroza, Thiago Mendes, Facundo Colidio; Bruno Duarte da Silva

Verdict

Flamengo's Serie A results have been fantastic in the last two months, securing eight wins in the last nine games and regaining the leading position. I will back them to keep pushing and collect three points on Thursday.
