Football Bet of the Day: Flamengo cruising towards more goals

Flamengo v Cruzeiro
Friday 01:00

Ponte Preta 0 Vasco da Gama 1 in Brazil yesterday. Leandrao's late goal was enough to sink the She Monkeys, but not our bet.

We expect a bit more from Flamengo and Cruzeiro in one of tonight's Campeonato games.

Seventh-placed Flamengo have scored 17 times and conceded 17 times in 11 outings at the Maracana. Individually, eight of those 11 games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals, which starts as a biggish outsider for the visit of Cruzeiro.

The Foxes have broke a long goalless streak in their last away game, notching a 2-1 win over the hapless Ponte Preta. They're conceding freely at the other end - each of their last three road games have brought Over 2.5 Goals in total - and now look ready to play a full part in getting tonight's game over the line.
