*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Fourth-from-bottom Vitoria have lost 11 times this term already and the relegation candidates have been given just a 23.1% chance of springing a surprise against Flamengo this week. In contrast, the visitors have won just shy of 60% of their league fixtures so far, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see them listed as 17/20 favourites to triumph on Friday.

Player to watch – Giorgian de Arrascaeta
Giorgian de Arrascaeta returned to the fold for Flamengo following his involvement with Uruguay at the Copa America and the silky midfielder made an immediate impact, assisting his team’s equalizer against Criciuma.
De Arrascaeta is a key creative force
Attacking midfielder de Arrascaeta has lodged four goal contributions in just five Serie A appearances this term and the 30-year-old’s return to club action should provide Flamengo with a major creative boost from here on in.
