Vasco x Flamengo predictions
Trivela’s editorial team’s guesses
Over 0.75 goals in the first half – 1,523
Like the Campeonato Carioca games so far, both Vasco and Rubro-Negro have been playing busy games in the initial stage. Therefore, our first bet is at least one goal from any team in the first 45 minutes of the game.
Apostle of the Pinnacle »
Flamengo wins or draws, and over 1.5 goals – 1.50
Our second bet is combined, and takes into account that Flamengo is the favorite in the match. Without absences and in a better phase, Tite’s men should have more control over game actions and possession of the ball. Therefore, our expectation here is a visiting victory by any score or a draw, and that the match will have at least two balls in the net.

Between pre-season friendlies and the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo still doesn’t know what it’s like to lose in 2024. While he’s still moving around in the transfer market, Tite is testing and exchanging pieces within his 4-2-3-1 formation, which best adapts to the robust cast at hand.
In the last round of the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo delighted the fans present in Belém do Pará by beating Sampaio Corrêa-RJ 2-0, with goals from Bruno Henrique and Gabigol. This Sunday, Tite must send what he has best to the field to try for the fifth consecutive victory against Cruz-Maltino.
