Sport Recife vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | November 15th 2025

Sport Recife will host Flamengo at Ilha do Retiro on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side returned to the Brazilian top flight this season for the first time since 2021, but have looked out of their depth all year and will be relegated back to the second tier if they fail to pick up maximum points this weekend.

They lost 4–2 to Atlético Mineiro on home turf last time out, squandering a two-goal second-half lead courtesy of a Leo Pereira brace after a series of defensive errors allowed their opponents to come from behind and snatch all three points.

Flamengo, meanwhile, are in the thick of a title race with Palmeiras heading into the final six games of the campaign. They picked up a narrow 3-2 home victory over Santos last weekend, securing a three-goal lead in the second half, and despite a spirited fightback from their relegation-threatened opponents late in the contest, they managed to hold on for the win.

The visitors, who sit second in the table, are level on points (68) with Palmeiras at the top of the pile and will be keen to pull clear with a win on Saturday.

Sport Recife vs Flamengo Prediction

Leão are on a wretched five-game losing streak and are winless in their last 10. They have the worst home record in the division and will have their work cut out this weekend.

Rubro-Negro, meanwhile, have won two of their last three league outings and have lost just one of their last six in the competition. They are clear favorites heading into Saturday's game and only need to guard against complacency to win this one.

Prediction: Sport Recife 0-2 Flamengo
