Let’s talk Flamengo and Corinthians, shall we? Goalkeeper-wise, we've got Agustín Rossi for Flamengo and Matheus Donelli for Corinthians. Both managed to snag a similar rating, 6.90 for Rossi and 6.86 for Donelli. Though Donelli seems to be the busier of the two with 13 saves versus Rossi's 6.
Now when we look out field, boy, does Flamengo have some firepower! Danilo with an 8.70 rating and a single netted. Giorgian De Arrascaeta has been making a real statement; his 8.55 rating is well-earned with 4 goals under his belt from 4 shots on goal. Pedro also has a couple of goals to his name. Corinthians, on the other hand, seems to be spreading the load around. Their top player, Memphis Depay, boasts a 7.73 rating with 3 goals from 5 shots on goal. But for the rest, we seem to be missing goal data, a tiny bit crucial in winning games, don't you think?
The resentment still runs high from the latest past face-off where Corinthians snatched a 2-1 victory from Flamengo. And with an overall regular season record of 3 wins, two draws, and zero losses, Flamengo did edge over Corinthians' 2-1-2 run.
If momentum tells us anything, Flamengo came out unscathed in their recent matches, bagging two wins and two draws. Corinthians, on the other side of the pitch, tasted both victory and defeat in their previous ones, balance tipped slightly towards the former.
Folks, I'm smelling a whiff of Flamengo funniness or simply stating, our friend Flamengo has an edge. What margin you ask? Wisely considering play so far, I'll stick to a cautious one.
