Flamengo vs Juventude prediction: Hosts should be in command

Key Stats

• Juventude have won only one of their last 31 away matches in Serie A.
• Both teams scored in three of the last four meetings between Flamengo and Juventude.
• Flamengo have won four of their last seven home games in Serie A.
• Gerson notched in two of Flamengo’s last three Serie A fixtures.

Correct score prediction: Flamengo 2-1 Juventude

Flamengo have won four of their last seven home assignments in the league and poor travellers Juventude could struggle against their formidable hosts. BTTS landed in three of the last four tussles between the clubs however, so expect that pattern to continue.

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Flamengo have dropped out of the title race in Serie A, though they should have enough quality to see off a Juventude side that are notoriously poor on the road. Flamengo have a 73.3% chance of prevailing on Saturday.

Juventude were hammed 5-3 at home by Palmeiras last time out and they are still troubled by the possibility of relegation. The visitors have been priced as whopping 17/2 underdogs ahead of Saturday’s game. Discover more Brazilian tips on our free football predictions page.

Player to watch – Erick Pulgar

Tough-tackling Chilean Erick Pulgar has been a steely presence in midfield for Flamengo this season and the 30-year-old is likely to be an influential ball-winning figure again on Saturday.

Pulgar a card market candidate

Pulgar has been averaging 2.30 tackles, 1.40 interceptions and 1.70 fouls per game in Serie A this term, while the anchorman has also picked up four yellow cards in 14 starts. Pulgar could be collared by the referee again on Saturday.
