Flamengo welcome Vitoria on Sunday, Aug 9 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Flamengo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Vitoria travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Flamengo head into this on the back of a defeat, while Vitoria arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Flamengo here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Vitoria, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Vitoria won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Flamengo a slight edge, but Vitoria are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
