Flamengo vs America Mineiro Prediction and Betting Tips

Flamengo and America Mineiro get round 16 of the Brasileiro Serie A underway when they face off at the Maracana Stadium on Saturday (July 22).

Having failed to win their last 13 meetings against Flamengo, Vagner Mancini’s men head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts. Flamengo were involved in a share of the spoils for the second straight league game, drawing goalless with Fluminense on Sunday.

Jorge Sampaoli’s side are unbeaten in seven matches, including a 4-1 aggregate win over Athletico Paranaese in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals in that time. With 27 points from 15 games, Flamengo are second in the league, 12 points off runaway leaders Botafogo.

Meanwhile, Mineiro thrashed Colo Colo 5-1 in their Copa Sudamericana last-32 clash on Tuesday to claim a 6-3 aggregate win. Mancini’s men now turn their attention to the league, where they're winless in five games, losing thrice since a 2-0 win over Corinthians in June.

America are rooted to the bottom of the standings, level on nine points with 19th-placed Vasco da Gama.
