Flamengo v America Mineiro Betting Tips [25 June 2022]

Two struggling sides, Flamengo and America MG face off in the Brazilian topflight in their next outing. Flamengo plays host here, looking to bag their fifth win in 14 matches and the same is the case with America Mineiro. Both have 15 points but Flamengo are boosted by a better goal difference, placing them 14th while America Mineiro are 16th. Flamengo are coming from two straight defeats at the hands of Atletico Mineiro, in the league and in the cup. They will be returning to play at home, where they managed to coin a few good results and that will be one big thing they bank on. The hosts have won four of their last five matches at home, across all competitions. They haven’t lost a lot in meetings with America Mineiro too so they will be confident as they head into the game.

America Mineiro are on a poor run going into this game, and recently it has been exacerbated by low scoring returns. They haven’t managed a goal in their last four matches and three of the four have ended in losses. America Mineiro have also historically done poorly in this fixture. They go into this game with one clean sheet in their last five matches but what will concern them more is the fact that in the last eight meetings with Flamengo, they’ve suffered eight losses. The two times they’ve avoided defeat, the matches ended in draws, and this includes their most recent, in September 2021, which ended 1-1. America Mineiro have failed to score in three of four away matches and are winless in six, a run that makes them the outright underdogs here.

Both Flamengo and America Mineiro have been poor in the run up to this game. For America Mineiro though, this will be a tough one, coming from four matches without a goal and having a poor away run. Flamengo have a good run at home, and also, against America Mineiro so we will back them to win here.
