Flamengo's next game is against a team that hasdifficulty hitting the target. The match against Fortaleza takes place on Thursday (11), at 8pm (Brasília time), and Mengão tries to regain some distance in the lead. If it is effective, it can succeed, as the opponent has difficulty being forceful.
This is what the Sofascore database statistics show. Fortaleza is the club with the most big chances lost after the team's initial 14 rounds in the Brasileirão. There were 29, that is, an average of 2.7 big chances missed per game in the Brazilian Championship. The difference to the second team that misses the most big chances is big.
That team is exactly Flamengo. Therefore, they are the two teams that most miss big chances in the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro has lost 22 in 15 matches so far, an average of 1.4 per game. However, the expectation is for more opportunities from Flamengo, and with mistakes on both sides, more red and black goals.
This is because Flamengo creates more great chances than Fortaleza, by a little: there are 2.5 per game, while Fortaleza creates 2.4 big chances per game throughout the season. On Sofascore, Mengão is the one who creates the most chances in the Brasileirão: 38, against 33 for Fortaleza. But the higher error rate of the Northeasterners, Mais Querido appears with more chances of opening the scoring and scoring goals in the match.
Flamengo has the best attack in the Brasileirão and shoots more on goalOther aspects that point to favoritism for Flamengo involve the team's attack in the competition. Rubro-Negro has the best attack in the Brasileirão, scoring 27 goals. Fortaleza is only 15th, with 14 goals scored, being one of the six teams with the worst attack.
In addition, Flamengo is the one who scores the most shots on goal per game in this Brasileirão. The average is 5.9, while Fortaleza scores 4. Pedro is Brazil's and the competition's top scorer, which is also a dangerous factor for rivals.
Fortaleza's defense, however, is also It's not stupid. The team is fourth in tackles in the Brasileirão, with an average of 18.4 per match. It is the strong point of the team with the fifth best defense, conceding 14 goals. Flamengo, for example, conceded 15.
