Flamengo travel to Belém looking to overtake or stay right on the heels of leaders Palmeiras. The Rubro-Negro sit 2nd with 51 points (one behind Palmeiras), while Clube do Remo are deep in relegation trouble in 19th place with just 23 points.

Form & Context

• Flamengo: Strong recent form with consecutive wins (including 3-0 vs Botafogo and 2-0 vs Mirassol). They are among the best away sides and have a big quality gap over most of the league.
• Remo: Seven games without a win (mix of draws and losses). Desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone. Home support at Mangueirão will be their main hope.

Flamengo dominated the reverse fixture 3-0 earlier this season and have not lost to Remo in decades (historical record heavily favours the visitors).

Team News

Remo
Absences include João Lucas (knee) and others with muscle issues. Mayk is available again after injury.

Flamengo
Mostly strong squad available. Some rotation possible but Leonardo Jardim is expected to field a competitive side. Key players like Pedro, Samuel Lino, Arrascaeta and the midfield core are likely to feature.

Prediction

Remo 0-2 Flamengo

Flamengo’s superior quality, form and depth should be enough to take all three points on the road. Remo will fight hard in front of their fans, but the gap in level is significant. Expect Flamengo to control the game and secure a professional away win while keeping an eye on the title race.
