1.61Tip and bets
Criciuma has put itself in a very difficult position at the finish line, having ended up in the relegation zone. The Tigers have no other choice but to take risks and play only to win, and they will clearly have plenty of motivation today. Flamengo are in good shape, but it will be very difficult to keep a clean sheet away from home against a motivated opponent, while the Vultures are trying to hold on to third place and are capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.71
Bet on the outcome
Criciuma are far from being in the best form at the end of the season, having not won in seven matches in a row. It will be almost impossible to break this streak today – Flamengo has a huge advantage in class, is in excellent form and will also be motivated to try to stay in the top three. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite in such a match, as of today the guests are objectively stronger.
Bet - Flamengo win. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
Flamengo are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Criciuma is capable of responding at home, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.89
