CR Flamengo v CA MineiroMatch centre →CR Flamengo welcome CA Mineiro in Brasileirão Série A on Monday, with kick-off at 23:00 UTC. The meeting brings together teams sitting second and sixth, giving both a chance to strengthen their league position.
Form guide
Recent form is not available, so the season totals offer the clearest guide. CR Flamengo have 67 points from 31 games, with 61 goals scored and 25 conceded. CA Mineiro have 50 points from the same number of matches, scoring 42 and conceding 35.
Players to watch
Pedro stands out for CR Flamengo with 15 goals and five assists in 26 games. Samuel Lino brings another attacking threat, with nine goals and seven assists in 26 appearances. Jorge Carrascal also deserves attention after five goals and six assists in 20 games.
How it could be decided
Keeping Pedro and Samuel Lino quiet looks an important task for CA Mineiro, given their attacking returns. At the other end, CA Mineiro face a team that has conceded only 25 times in 31 league games. CR Flamengo won the previous meeting 4–0 on 26 April, but that result does not decide this one.
Three things to watch
- • CR Flamengo sit second; CA Mineiro are sixth.
- • Pedro has 15 goals and five assists.
- • Kick-off is Monday at 23:00 UTC.
