Flamengo vs Juventude Prediction and Betting Tips | April 16th 2025

Flamengo will host Juventude at the Estadio do Maracana on Wednesday in the fourth round of the 2025 Brasileirão Serie A campaign. The hosts will be hoping to continue their fine start to the season and maintain their place at the top of the table.

The Urubu picked up a largely comfortable 2-0 win away to Gremio during the weekend to make it two wins out of three, having drawn their opening league game. The hosts, who finished in third place last season, have started the campaign brightly and will be keen to remain in such form to establish themselves high up on the league table early on in the season.

Juventude created a flurry of chances to come back from being a goal down in their 2-1 win when they hosted Ceará on Saturday. The visitors, who only narrowly escaped relegation last season, have also won two of their opening three but lost to Botafogo in the second round and will be looking to get as many points as possible in the early stages to help their campaign.

Flamengo vs Juventude Prediction

Flamengo are heavy favorites going into Wednesday's game thanks to their much better quality and remarkable attacking threat and will only need to avoid complacency to get the win.

Juventude will be satisfied to get a point against one of the league's best sides but will need something special to avoid defeat at a ground where they last won in 2005.
