The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Flamengo play host to Santos at the Estadio Maracanã on Sunday. Filipe Luis’ men head into the weekend unbeaten in 10 straight games across all competitions and will look to extend this fine run.
Flamengo dropped two points in their title chase on Thursday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by São Paulo after giving up their lead in the 80th minute at the Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo. Before that, Luis’ side played out a goalless draw with Racing Club to complete a 1-0 victory over the Argentine outfit and reach the Copa Libertadores final on October 30, three days before thrashing Sport Recife in Serie A.
In the league, Flamengo have picked up 19 wins and eight draws from their 31 Serie A matches to collect 65 points and sit second in the table, three points behind first-placed Palmeiras.
Elsewhere, Santos continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table, falling to a 2-0 defeat against league leaders Palmeiras on Friday. Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s men have gone four consecutive matches without a win (2 losses, 2 draws) and have failed to win seven of their last eight league games since late September.
This poor run of results has seen Santos plunge into the relegation zone, as they currently sit 17th in the table with 33 points from 31 matches—just one point away from safety.
### Flamengo vs Santos Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
With 19 wins from the last 47 meetings between the sides, Flamengo boast a superior record in the history of this fixture. Santos have picked up 15 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 13 occasions.
Flamengo are unbeaten in their last 10 home matches in all competitions (7 wins, 3 draws) since a 1-0 defeat against Atlético Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil on August 1.
Santos have failed to taste victory in their last six away matches, losing three and claiming three draws since a 2-1 win over Cruzeiro in August.
### Match Prediction
Sunday’s game could prove pivotal to both Flamengo and Santos’ league aspirations, and we expect both sides to go all out at the Maracanã. Luis’ men have made their home turf a fortress, and we predict they will claim a comfortable victory to move top of the table.
**Prediction:** Flamengo 3-1 Santos
