THE PREDICTION

Defending champions Flamengo get the defence of their title underway with a home clash against Palmeiras who finished 13 points behind the Brazilian Serie A champions in seventh-place. In 38 league games last, Flamengo emerged victorious 26 times and come into this one having not lost in their last 12 matches in all competitions. Once again, the presence of the talismanic Gabriel Barbosa up front will prove a huge weapon within the Flamengo attack and over the course of those most recent 12 fixtures, only one has seen the hosts fail to find the net at least twice. Such offensive strength is likely to overwhelm the vast majority of Brazilian Serie A sides once again this season and will surely find themselves too strong for Palmeiras in this one, ultimately leading Flamengo to victory.
