Clube de Regatas do Flamengo vs Sport Club Corinthians Paulista Prediction 16 July 2022

Flamengo, which are claiming the title, will take on outsiders Coritiba in another match of the seventeenth round of Brasileirao.

Starting from mid-June, Flamengo proved their superiority over Cuiaba (2:0), America Mineiro (3:0) and Santos (2:1), and also lost 0:2 to Atlético Mineiro and 0:1 to Corinthians. So far, the Red-Blacks are only ninth with 21 points and 18:17 goal statistics. At the same time, they are only nine points behind the leaders.

While Coritiba started very well, but towards the middle of the campaign they dropped to fourteenth place with 19 points and a goal difference of 20:25. Over the past month, the White-Greens defeated Fortaleza 2-1, drew 2-2 with Juventude, and before that capitulated to Bragantino (2-4), Atlético Paranaense (0-1) and Internacional (0-3) three times in a row.

On paper, Flamengo are noticeably stronger than Coritiba - it is not surprising that bookmakers give a significant advantage to the hosts. We are sure that the favorites will still achieve their goal, but the victory will not be with a big score.
