Flamengo are flying
The table tells you all you need to know about the Serie A 2026 standings for this fixture, and this Chapecoense SC vs Flamengo RJ preview shows Chapecoense SC are 20th with 9 points from 17 games, Flamengo RJ are 2nd with 34 points from the same number of matches. The odds reflect this, Flamengo are 1.47 favourites, Chapecoense are 6.5 and the draw is 4.35. However, there is another way to approach this game, with both teams to score at 1.94 and over 2.5 goals at 1.88 also looking a little low.
Leonardo Jardim has done a fine job since taking over on 4 March 2026, they play a compact, purposeful brand of soccer, but when they do, they punch up top, turning possession into vertical punches. Flamengo's away record is a big part of their story, they have won 5, drawn 2 and lost just 2 of their 9 away matches in Serie A 2026, averaging 1.67 goals per-game on the road.
Samuel Dias Lino is on fire for Flamengo RJ, he has 3 goals in his last 5 games and has provided a real spark to Flamengo's frontline of late. The visitors have won their last two away games, taking down Lausanne-Sports and SL Benfica in back-to-back fixtures, they are playing with a spring in their step and can make this trip to Chapecoense SC a tough one for the hosts. Our Chapecoense SC vs Flamengo RJ prediction is that the visitors should have too much quality.
Home is not an advantage for Chapecoense
Chapecoense SC are having a rough patch, they are on a 3-game losing run and the home crowd has not been their biggest fan, with Arena Condá yet to become a fortress in Serie A 2026. The hosts have won just 1, drawn 4 and lost 4 of their 9 home matches, and they only score goals when absolutely necessary, finding the back of the net just 13 times in 9 games.
Lacerda has made the most of the resources available to him since taking over on 30 May 2026, his side are set up to be pragmatic and balanced, they sit back in a compact back-four shape and play through the transitions well. Flamengo will likely dominate this matchup and their fluid 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation should have enough quality to find a couple of goals, but Chapecoense's shape will make this cagey in the early stages and their bluntness in front of goal is unlikely to see them trouble Flamengo too much, so Flamengo to win and both teams not to score is my best alternative bet here. This Chapecoense SC vs Flamengo RJ betting tips angle also points towards an away win. Another Chapecoense SC vs Flamengo RJ prediction is Flamengo to control the game from start to finish.
