The Maracana is the place to be in Brazil

There could be a flurry of goals as Flamengo take centre stage in Brazilian Serie A tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

  • Flamengo conceded in 13/16 at home

  • Atletico netted in 10/15 away

  • Back BTTS


Flamengo v Atletico MG
Wednesday 23:00

In Brazil last night, America ran out 3-2 winners over Ituano but they were only 1-1 at the break. We wanted them to be winning at half time.

We're sticking in Brazil for one more day as tonight's top-flight game brings 11th-placed Atletico MG to 5th-placed Flamengo. Flamengo won the reverse fixture 4-2 earlier this season and we're hoping to see a few more goals this evening.

Flamengo's most recent home outing also brought a 4-2 success - over Juventude. It was the 11th time in 16 Serie A games at the Maracana that backing both teams to score was the right thing to do.

Atletico MG are W4-D5-L6 on the road this term, but they've found the back of the net in 10/15, including on recent visits to the teams in second and third. We'll take them to grab at least a goal today and help deliver another BTTS winner at the Maracana.
