Santos vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips

Seeking to end their nine-game winless run, Santos host Flamengo at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira on Sunday (June 25). Jorge Sampaoli’s side, in contrast, are on a four-game winning streak and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Santos continued to struggle, as they suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Corinthians on Thursday. Odair Hellmann’s side have gone nine games without a win, losing five, since a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama on May 14. With 13 points from ten games, the Alvinegros are 13th in the league table but will move into ninth place with a win.

Meanwhile, Flamengo were sent crashing back to earth in the Serie A, as they lost 4-0 to Red Bull Bragantino last time out. Before that, the Rubro-Negro were unbeaten in six league games, claiming 16 points from a possible 18.

With 19 points from 11 games, Flamengo are fourth in the standings, level on points with fifth-placed Atletico Mineiro.
