Santos vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | July 16th 2025

Santos and Flamengo go head-to-head in round 14 of Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday. Cleber Xavier’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to snap their run of four consecutive home defeats against Flamengo and secure their first win at the Estádio Urbano Caldeira since April.

Santos turned in a solid team display last Friday when they picked up a comfortable 3-1 victory over Brazilian lower-tier outfit Desportiva Ferroviária in a friendly fixture.

Xavier’s side now turn their focus to the Serie A, where they have managed just two wins from their last eight games while losing five and claiming one draw since April 20.

Santos have picked up 11 points from their 12 league matches so far to sit 16th in the standings, level on points with 17th-placed Juventude and 18th-placed Vitoria, who have played an extra game.

Meanwhile, Flamengo return to league action on the back of a win as they edged out Sao Paulo 2-0 when the two sides squared off at the Estadio Maracana last Saturday.

This came after an impressive run in the FIFA Club World Cup, where Filipe Luis’ men clinched top spot in Group D with seven points from three matches before losing 4-2 against German powerhouse Bayern Munich in the round of 16 on June 29.

Flamengo have won eight of their 12 Serie A matches so far while losing once and claiming three draws to collect 27 points and sit top of the league table, level on points with second-placed Cruzeiro.
