Flamengo

DWWDLL ⚖

Flamengo will be looking for an improved result here after the 0-2 Supercopa do Brasil losing effort in their last game against Corinthians.

Paulista (26') and Alberto (97') scored for Corinthians.

It’s not been often in recent games where Flamengo have shown defensive steel. In fact, Flamengo have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals in the process. Putting that to one side, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend shall be maintained here in this match or not.

Leading up to this clash, Flamengo:

• are unbeaten in the league by Internacional in their last 5 games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 23 league matches at home. Incredible, really.

Internacional

WDLLWL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Atletico PR in Serie A competition, Internacional will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Internacional managed 71% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 7 on target. For their opponents, Athletico Paranaense had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target. Stiven Mendoza (9') was the scorer for Atletico PR.

The numbers tell their own story, and Internacional have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 12 goals in total. Defensively, Internacional have been far from perfect.

Their previous form shows that Internacional:

• haven't beaten Flamengo when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league matches.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 30/10/2024 shows that these encounters have not been fruitful for Internacional. They have not been able to come away with any wins whatsoever while Flamengo have remained in the ascendancy, finishing as winners in 67% of those matches played.

16 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 11 for Fla and 5 netted by Colorado. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.67.

🗞️ Team News: Flamengo

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Flamengo boss Filipe Luís to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Saúl Ñíguez (Heel injury) is sidelined. Jorginho cannot play in this game through suspension.

We are thinking that Fla could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Agustin Rossi, Emerson Royal, Vitão, Léo Pereira, Ayrton, Evertton Araújo, Erick Pulgar, Gonzalo Plata, Jorge Carrascal, Everton and Pedro.

ℹ️ Team News: Internacional

We believe Colorado might utilise a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Sergio Rochet, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Victor Gabriel, Alexandro Bernabei, Paulinho Paula, Ronaldo, Vitinho, Alan Patrick, Johan Carbonero and Rafael Borre.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Flamengo look likely to score more than once when they face Internacional, who could well find it tough to break down their defence.

We’re therefore anticipating a 2-0 winning margin for Flamengo after 90 minutes.
