Flamengo take on the visitors Bragantino in the round 33 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, November 23rd at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Last season, the "Vultures" finished fifth in the Brazilian Serie A. In the current season, the team is once again in the top 5 at the moment and has a chance to secure a place in the top three. They are five points behind the league leader Flamengo, which is a considerable gap. However, they are only two points away from the third position. Excluding the match against Bragantino, there are still four rounds to go. Winning all of them could put them in contention for the gold. In the last three league matches, the "red and black" have not suffered any losses. Among them was a draw with Fluminense (1-1) and two victories over Fortaleza (2-0) and Palmeiras (3-0). Even during their two recent defeats in the championship, Flamengo managed to score goals against Gremio (2-3) and Santos (1-2). What am I leading to? I expect at least one accurate strike from the "Vultures" in the upcoming round.

I also expect at least one goal from RB Bragantino in this match. If someone had seriously said a year ago that "the bulls" would be fighting for the gold in Serie A, everyone would have raised an eyebrow. But the fact remains that a few rounds before the end of the season, they are only three points behind Palmeiras in the championship race. The team could have been leading the table now if it hadn't earned only one point in the last two rounds, drawing with Botafogo (2-2) and losing to Sao Paulo (0-1). By the way, the match against Sao Paulo ended a solid scoring streak for Bragantino in the championship. Before that, Red Bull representatives scored in nine consecutive rounds. From the recent away matches, notable victories include those against Goias (2-0) and Santos (3-1), and a draw with Atletico Paranaense (1-1).
In conclusion, we have two teams clashing that are competing for the highest positions in the championship. Both need a victory desperately, and to win, goals are necessary. Flamengo have scored 50 goals in 33 rounds, while Bragantino have scored 46. Both clubs average around 1.5 goals per game. Recently, both home and away teams have often played Over 2.5 goals, exchanging goals with their opponents. The "Vultures" have scored at least once in nine consecutive rounds in the championship. The "Bulls" have left the field only once in the last 13 Serie A matches without upsetting the opponent. In this confrontation, I would like to place a bet on "Both Teams to Score," and that's what I'll do. Finally, in the two previous head-to-head matches at Flamengo's field, the opponents provided vivid and goal-rich football: 4-1 and 2-3.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
