Flamengo-RJ is still in with a shout to win Brazilian Serie A, but it needs a win tonight.
Over the weekend, the world watched as two Brazilian sides battled through more than 90 minutes of scoreless action in the Copa Libertadores Final, before Breno Lopes stunned everyone with the game-winner in the eighth minute of 13 added stoppage time minutes. The goal gave Palmeiras a 1-0 win over Santos, and bragging rights on the South American continent for a year.
But in Serie A, those two teams are well down the table. Internacional leads it by five points over Atletico MG, with Flamengo-RJ in third with a game in hand.
That game is tonight, as they visit Sporting Recife.
The last eight Recife home matches have been under 2.5, and the last four times these teams have played at Recife the under 2.5 has covered.
I will take Flamengo and the under 2.75 goal total.
