Preview and Teams Comparison.
The all-time H2H slants slightly in Flamengo’s favour (W153, D138, L131), but the difference in league points this season (32) between them and cross-city foes Fluminense is far more emphatic. That’s partly down to the hosts dropping points just once at home this Série A (SA) season (W11, D1). A league-high average of 2.67 goals scored per home game has helped propel Flamengo to the league summit, and seen them win four of their last five home league games with at least a -1 handicap. Yet whilst they’ve won two of the last five derbies (D2, L1), not one of those five was decided by more than a single-goal margin.
With eight of the hosts’ 11 home victories seeing them lead at half-time, and with Flamengo currently enjoying a 16-game unbeaten run (in all competitions), confidence will be sky-high. However rivals Fluminense have hit a good vein of form recently, albeit a 2-1 defeat last time out ended their first five-game unbeaten SA streak since August 2017 (W3, D2). On the road they’ve failed to score more than once in any of their last nine SA away games, although despite that, Fluminense have averaged a league-high 3.0 total match goals per away fixture – mainly due to having conceded at least three goals in 41.67% of those road trips.
