THE PREDICTION
Flamengo come into this game in wildly inconsistent form after following up victory with defeat twice in succession, the most recent of those losses being a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Atletico Mineiro. Returning to Copa do Brasil action, Flamengo have an opportunity to put that defeat behind them against Sao Paulo, who sit just two points behind them in the Serie A table. Games between these two sides are usually close affairs with three of their last four encounters ending in draws and with this game being the first leg of a quarter final, neither side are expected to give an inch. Sao Paulo have scored ten goals in their last three games and the hosts are expected to play more cautiously to counter act the visiting side’s attacking threat in a bid to avoid a repeat of their defeat to Mineiro. Consider under 2.5 goals here, with both sides likely happy to settle for a draw going into the second leg.
