Flamengo vs Boavista SC Prediction: Flamengo Recovering from the Defeat in the Brazil Cup Final

In the upcoming fixture of Campeonato Carioca Serie A, Matchday 6, Flamengo will square off against Boavista at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Going in the matchup, Flamengo stands at the top of the current points table with 3 wins and 11 points from 5 games played. Flamengo is the only side that is carrying an unbeaten run in the tournament. On the other hand, Boavista stands 12th with just 2 points and not a single win in the 5 matches played so far. Flamengo and Boavista shared the field previously in February 2022, where Flamengo won (3-0). From the 18 games played between the two, Flamengo has won 13, whereas Boavista has managed to secure just a single win. 

Flamengo is coming off a close defeat in the Brazil Cup Final against Palmeiras (4-3), in which Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro were the only goal scorers. Playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation, Flamengo are still hoping for robust performances from De Arrascaeta and Ribeiro. Apart from the previous performance, Flamengo is certainly enjoying the unbeaten run in Carioca Serie A. In the last three of the five matches played against Boavista, the total has been recorded over 2.5 goals. Moreover, with a goal scoring average of 1.80 goals per game in home fixtures, Flamengo will be the favorites to win.

Going in the match, Boavista stands at the bottom of the points table. In the last game against Madureira RJ, Boavista lost (0-2) and before that managed a draw against Fluminense (1-1). From the 18 games played against Flamengo, Boavista averages about 0.78 goals per game. However, the area of concern is the goals conceded, which are around 2.17 goals per game. Boavista is certainly having a poor run in this tournament and is likely to struggle against Flamengo. In away fixtures this season, Boavista averages about 0.80 goals per game, which isn’t enough to win games.

For the upcoming home fixture, Flamengo will stand as favorites. Boavista will enter the field as underdogs, however, odds suggest a pretty one sided encounter. Boavista is likely to fail while scoring, and only the home side to score. The final scoreline is predicted to be 2-0 or 3-0.
