Bitesize Prediction: Avai vs Flamengo – 24/07/22

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Flamengo win

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Looking to continue to their charge up the Serie A table, Flamengo will make the trip to Avai on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in a toothless display as they were hit with a 1-0 loss against Ceara on the road, Avai find themselves in the midst of a recent blip. Slipping their way down the Serie A table and knowing that they will face a real task here, Head Coach Eduardo Barroca has seen his side lose three of their last four top-flight contests. With it looking like their 1-0 victory against Santos earlier in the month was just a minor boost, that is the only victory that the Santa Catarina-based outfit have picked up from their previous six outings. Likewise, winning just a pair of their previous six matchups at the Ressacada, Avai should be worried by their most recent meeting against Sunday’s opponents. When the two sides last faced off back in 2019, Flamengo stormed their way to a 6-1 romp.

As for the visitors, while Avai might find themselves freefalling down the Serie A table, Flamengo are enjoying what has been a real purple patch. Once again impressing earlier in the week as they breezed their way to a 4-0 victory against leading relegation scrappers Juventude, the Urubu have now won seven of their last eight matchups across all formats. With that stellar run of form stemming all the way back to June 23rd, the Brazilian giants will be looking to lay down another marker here. Really skyrocketing their way up the Serie A table, Head Coach Dorival Júnior has seen his side gain plenty of plaudits. Likewise, winning each of their last three outings by an aggregate score of 8-0, Flamengo are rightfully tipped as a standout pick here. Landing that 6-1 win when the two sides last met three years ago, we’re backing an away victory here.
