Fluminense vs Flamengo Soccer Betting Picks
Fourteenth the previous season, a relatively disappointing place for a team with ambitions, Fluminense has made a decent start this year. Indeed, the tricolor formation is currently 8th after 8 days with 11 points and a negative goal difference of -1. After two great victories at Atlético PR (1-0) and at home when receiving Vasco de Gama (2-1), Fluminense conceded the points sharing against Goianense (1-1) and lost on the lawn of Sao Paulo (1-3) last weekend.
For its part, Flamengo is the reigning champion and winner of the Copa Libertadores 2019. Worn by high quality players like Barbosa, Pedro or even Arrascaeta, the formation of the Mengao is probably the best of the entire American continent.

Like the last 3 victories against Santos (1-0), Bahia (5-3) and Fortaleza (2-1).
