Flamengo RJ vs Sao Paulo Prediction & Betting Tips (12 July)

Flamengo is clearly the best Brazilian team of the moment. We can observe it with this first place in the championship, even with a game late compared to direct competitors, but we were also able to observe it during the Club World Cup . With two successes against Tunis and Chelsea , and a draw against Los Angeles, the Brazilians were able to access the final stages, before losing against Bayern 2-4 . But they showed a very beautiful face and it is a good omen for the future, especially in Copa Libertadores, where a qualification for the final stages is still widely playable.Sao Paulo also experienced his moments of glory, but it is far from being glorious this season precisely.

14th, the Brazilians remain on 3 losses of rank in the league against Mirassol, Bahia and Vasco. Fortunately there is the Copa Libertadores to get your head out of the water, since the training is the leader of its pool with 14 points out of 18 possible. There is a real contrast between the two competitions. 

Flamengo can count on a complete and high class workforce. We find boys like Danilo (ex-Juve, City, Réal), Alex Sandro (ex-Juve), Jorginho (ex-pearl), and in front of Gerson (ex-OM), Luiz Araujo (ex-Lille) or Plata, passed by Sporting. But the key player of this offensively team is from Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan has planted 9 goals and issued 4 assists in 9 championship games.

We also find the serial goalscorer Pedro, author of 4 goals and 2 championship passes but who has been bench during the CDM of clubs.Coté Sao Paulo, big names are injured like Oscar (ex-Chelsea), Luiz Gustavo (ex-Rom), Lucas Moura (ex-PSG) and the house striker Calleri. The workforce is therefore immediately less flashy than that of Flamengo, despite the presence of players like Soares (ex-Arsenal), Wendell (ex-Lvertenkusen & Porto), or Andre Silva, passed by the Portuguese championship.
