Bet
Considering the recent form and stats, I would recommend a Home Win for Flamengo at odds of 1.44. Despite their inconsistent results, Flamengo's superior scoring ability and home advantage give them a strong chance of winning. Criciúma's struggles on the road, conceding an average of two goals per game, also make it likely that Flamengo will come out on top. The relatively short odds still offer decent value for a team with a clear edge in this matchup.
