Last, but not least, the home side is offering a +115 price. Considering their home record, that’s a great deal as you could win $115 for every $100 wagered.
Flamengo: Back on Track
After losing three matches in a row, Flamengo returned to the winning column on Wednesday by defeating Cuiaba 2-0. Ayrton Lucas and Gabriel Barbosa were the scorers. The Scarlet-Black doesn’t have a Hulk, but Barbosa is also very good. Unlike — Captain Barbossa from “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
While Flamengo sits in ninth place, they’ve scored more goals than fourth-place Paranaense. Win or lose, the Scarlet-Black are used to putting up a good fight. They scored in eight of their previous 12 games.
Like Atletico Mineiro, they also managed to advance to the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. In fact, they’re among the favorites to dethrone Palmeiras. Considering they won Group H with a 5-1-0 record, 15 goals for, and six against, that shouldn’t be a surprise.
