Khaya’s picks

League leaders Flamengo will be looking to maintain their position at the top of the Brasileiro Série A standings when they visit Palmeiras at Allianz Parque.

The hosts, however, have proved to be some sort of a hoodoo team for the visitors over the last couple of years.

Flamengo’s last victory over Palmeiras was way back in 2014 and one has to go back to 2010 in order to witness their last away win.

Palmeiras won this game 2-0 last season, with the meeting in Rio ending in a 2-2 draw.

Palmeiras, however, have a whiff of vulnerability about them coming into the clash and Flamengo look in pole position to take full advantage.

I therefore think Flamengo will edge this one and end their winless run against Palmeiras. Pool Name – S6 V1 P2 M1: America Mineiro v Chapecoense. Draw. TIP: Draw = 2 M2: Fluminense FC v Santos.
