Remo vs Flamengo

Remo host Flamengo at the Baenão in a fixture that underlines the gap between these two campaigns. Flamengo sit second in the Série A with 45 points, chasing leaders Palmeiras, while Remo — back in the top flight after 32 years away — are 18th with 23 points, fighting relegation. Form favors the visitors: Flamengo own the league's best attack under Leonardo Jardim, led by Pedro, the Brasileirão's top scorer with 12 goals. Remo arrive off a 2-1 loss to Fluminense, where Jajá's goal wasn't enough to prevent a fightback from Hulk and Serna. The clubs met for the first time since 1978 back in March, when Flamengo won 3-0 at the Maracanã — though Remo actually lead their historic head-to-head 3-2. Flamengo's superior firepower should carry the day in Belém, even against a Remo side desperate for points at home. Our prediction: 1-2
