Flamengo vs Santos Betting Tips
Flamengo
This will be far from a memorable anniversary for the Gávea club, who then defeated Botafogo 2-1 in the thirty-third session, virtually saying goodbye to their hopes of reaching the 2016 Brazilian Championship. Although mathematics still allows combinations of results that yield the conquest to Flamengo, the possibility of that happening is minimal.
Even because the players of red-black have not even fulfilled their role. In the last three matches, they added only two of the nine points played. That is why the team, who were in the runners-up, fell to third at the end of the day of the 33rd. With 60 points (17 wins, nine draws and seven losses) they even have their place in the groups of the 2019 edition of the Copa Libertadores of America threatened.
This privilege is reserved for the first four places of the Brazilian Championship. Grêmio and São Paulo, closest pursuers of Flamengo, have 58. They will face each other on Thursday in the capital of São Paulo.
The situation of the Carioca club is more serious by the electoral process, which has left the turbulent environment. The coach Dorival Junior, for example, who was hired to lead the team in the final stretch of the Brasileirão in the Mauricio Barbieri spot had his permanence discarded.
Renato Gaucho, Grêmio commander, who is the name dreamed of both situation and opposition, is close to renewing his commitment to the gauchos. Thus, Abel Braga, name that has resistance among the fans is that it has appeared as more quoted for the post. One thing is taken for granted. There will be renewal in the cast. This seems to be influencing the players’ performance.

Santos
The situation in Santos is not much different. The team, whose goal in the final stretch is much more modest, to stay in the G6 and, thus, have the right to play the qualifiers for the Libertadores 2019, is more focused on planning for next year than on the current season.
Not surprisingly, the lazy stance adopted by the team in the 1-0 defeat at Pacaembu in front of Chapecoense on Monday, November 12. The game ended the thirty-third round of the Brasileirao and cost the Fish entry into the G6. Staying in the 46 points (12 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses), the team finished the day in eighth place behind Atlético-MG (47) and Atlético-PR (46).
For Thursday’s game, coach Cuca will gain more options for the lineup. Chief among them is the return of striker Gabriel Barbosa, Gabigol, top scorer of Brasileirão. Being suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards, the athlete can not face Chapecoense. Punishment fulfilled, able to act and should be related among the holders. The same goes for the lateral Vitor Ferraz and for the steering wheel Diego Pituca, although the importance of them for the team is smaller.
