Palmeiras vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024

Palmeiras will entertain Flamengo at Allianz Parque in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 on Wednesday. The two teams met in the first leg last week, which Flamengo won 2-0 at home, thanks to second-half goals from Pedro and Luiz Araujo.

The hosts arrested their losing streak after three games on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Internacional in the Brazilian Serie A. Rony scored the equalizer in the 88th minute, which was awarded after a VAR check. They returned to goalscoring ways after three games in that draw.

The visitors saw their winning streak ended after four games on Saturday as they suffered a 1-0 away loss to Sao Paulo, failing to score for the first time in all competitions since May.

Palmeiras vs Flamengo Prediction

Verdão are winless in their last four games in all competitions, scoring just once while conceding six times. They have failed to score in just one of their last eight home games in all competitions and are expected to find the back of the net here.

Rubro-Negro suffered an away loss in their first match of the month on Saturday, failing to score for the first time in 14 games and will look to return to goalscoring ways. Tite is expected to make a few changes to the starting XI from that loss, and Erick Pulgar and Giorgian de Arrascaeta should start here.

Considering the current form of the two teams and the visitors' advantage on aggregate, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Palmeiras 1-1 Flamengo
