Sao Paulo desperately need points on Sunday, Jul 26 at 11:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Flamengo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Sao Paulo travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Flamengo won their last outing, while Sao Paulo suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 10 previous meetings, Flamengo lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Flamengo won 1–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Flamengo a slight edge, but Sao Paulo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
