Betting tips for Flamengo RJ vs Coritiba - 22.07.2017

Flamengo has not won for three consecutive days, but here is a golden opportunity to return to success. The "black rubro" of Rio de Janeiro will face Coritiba, discredited and temporarily oriented, since Pachequinho was fired. Grêmio (0-1), Cruzeiro (1-1) and Palmeiras (2-2). Flamengo were not able to beat any of their opponents in the last three days of the Brazilian championship, breaking after a series of six official games with only victories. The leaders of Zé Ricardo know how important it is to return to the victories and have a great opportunity to do it in this 16th day of the Brasileirão 2017.

During the week that has just ended, in addition to the two-way tie with champions Palmeiras, Flamengo was news of having agreed to the appointment of goalkeeper Diego Alves, a Brazilian who returns to the home country after leaving Valencia. The meeting with Coritiba could mark its debut in the Brasileirão 2017.

A strong team to play at home and with a wide range of options, Flamengo will only be able to count on the services of Gabriel and Rhodolfo for this match, players who are injured.


Brasileirão Série AA defeated at Moisés Lucarelli, home of Ponte Preta, was the "drop of water" for Coritiba. The officials of the "Thigh" chose to dismiss Pachequinho, a coach who leaves the "Thigh" in 15th place with 19 points won in 15 games.

The participation of Coritiba in this 2017 Brasileirão started well, with the team "glued" to the places of the front, but, with the advance of the competition, it took place more than expectable fall. In the last ten challenges that Coritiba played, all for the Brazilian championship, only won once, in the trip to the ground of Avaí (1-4). Unable to assert himself in Couto Pereira as he did earlier in the season, Coritiba lost their last two home games against Sport Recife (0-3) and Fluminense (1-2).

Coritiba has a squad capable enough to avoid any setbacks with regard to the fight for maintenance. For this trip to Rio de Janeiro, Coritiba will work under the guidance of an interim coach, as the management has not yet had the opportunity to reach agreement with a new coach. João Paulo, Alan Santos, Tiago Real, Iago (injured) and Kléber Gladiator (suspended) are the green and white chess pieces that can not go to the game. Werley and Walisson Maia are in doubt.



Flamengo is totally favorites to ensure the three points and all scenarios that do not involve a Carioca victory will be a surprise. The "Mengão" has everything to return to the victories in this 16th round of the Brazilian championship.
