Flamengo take on the visitors Cuiaba in the round 12 match of Brazilian Serie A . The match will be played on Thursday, June 16th at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Flamengo clearly counted on confident start. The Vultures have not finished the season without significant success lately. After 2 league titles in a row, 2nd place in the last edition, albeit in combination with the final of Copa Libertadores, was perceived as a step back. Moreover, they also lost the decisive dispute for the international trophy. As a result, they decided to call a new coach, and, following the fashionable tradition in Brasileirao, they relied on the Portuguese, Paulo Souza. It turned out to be contradictory: in the Cope Libertadores, the Brazilians took 16 points and confidently won the group. But in Serie A, a lot of points were lost, which is why Flamengo dangled at the bottom of the table. The defeat against Internacional was the 3rd in a row - a failure for such an ambitious project. And this is with a change of mentor, Dorival Junior has already been appointed.

Cuiaba spends only 2nd year at the top level of Brazilian football. The Golds made their debut in the Serie A only last year. And, as for an absolute newcomer, they were relatively successful, taking 15th place. But, as often happens, it is the next year, the 2nd year at a higher level, that is more difficult for such teams. Recently Cuiaba managed to trip the leader of the season by beating Corinthians 1-0 at home and showing how dangerous such a team is. This allowed at least break away from the bottom of the standings. Yes, and with Red Bull Bragantino was a draw, however, still after that the visitors remained in the relegation zone.

But the clubs have scored even number points so far, and Cuiaba was definitely no worse in the last rounds. So you should take a closer look at the offer with a bet on visitors with 1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Cuiaba to win with +1.5 handicap.
