Flamengo -0.75 in the pair is a big bet, the must win is very big.

Fortaleza is in the worst phase of the season, since the departure of R. Ceni, coach, for Flamengo they were unable to return to good performances. In the last game they lost the derby against the big rival Ceara. They failed to create goal opportunities and always suffered from Ceara's counterattacks. It was a fair defeat and it left an impression on the team. The fans invaded the training center during the week and the atmosphere is very bad. For this game they are without Juninho who took a red card in the last game and Yuri Cesar who is on loan from Flamengo. So they will have to play with 2 reserves in the midfield.

Flamengo wants the title of champion, they are 5 points behind São Paulo with one game less, so the must win is very big. They cannot waste points against teams at Fortaleza level. In addition the last game won with a lot of race, they were losing 2-3 and playing with less than one player and still managed to win 4-3. They left the game very motivated, it was one of those victories that motivate a lot. R. Ceni was the coach of Fortaleza for 3 years, he knows the players, he knows everything about the club and I believe that makes a difference. He will be able to exploit all the weaknesses of Fortaleza.

Flamengo has a very big must win, this is bound to win. Furthermore, they are motivated while Fortaleza is in a crisis.
