Two giants of Brazilian football face off
Our Santos FC Sao Paulo vs Flamengo RJ preview suggests this should be a classic battle of styles between the hosts who play a controlled, possession-based style at a moderate tempo and the more aggressive visitors who press high up the pitch and attack down the wings to great effect.
The clash of these two styles should be interesting in itself and the fact that both teams are giants of the beautiful game in Brazil ensures that there’s a little more than just three points at stake.
Santos FC Sao Paulo vs Flamengo RJ prediction plays a crucial role here as Flamengo are four points clear at the top of the Serie A table and a win on Wednesday could stretch their lead over their nearest rivals, while three points for Santos would boost their challenge for continental qualification.
Historically, this game has been the launchpad for future European stars for both clubs.
