My Prediction
Flamengo by 1Look, I won't be padding this out with platitudes, Flamengo and Fluminense are bracing up for a clash that promises sparks aplenty. This rivalry doesn't get settled with handshakes, that much is clear.
Flamengo's goalkeeping scenario is interesting. They've got Agustín Rossi, who's managing an acceptable 6.95 rating with 2 saves. Meanwhile, we're operating in the dark regarding Fluminense's situation between the sticks. I mean, come on, who keeps secrets in football?
When it comes to top players, Flamengo proudly shows off their stocked pantry. Luke Araújo with a 7.60 rating, Allan with a solid 96% accurate pass rate, and Gonzalo Plata with his determined 81.7% make an impressive trio. Meanwhile, we're groping in the twilight for Fluminense's star lineup.
Past encounters give us quite an eclectic mix of results. Our most recent battle saw Flamengo go down 2-0 to Fluminense in 2024. But they did snatch a 1-0 victory later, and have held them to a draw twice.
Checking the rearview mirror, Fluminense's record stands at 6 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses versus Flamengo's 8 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses. Just remember, successes past don't guarantee victories future.
On recent form, Flamengo has been laser-focused like a cat stalking a laser pointer, convincingly procuring wins against São Paulo and Fortaleza, while holding Botafogo to a stalemate. On the other side of the coin, Fluminense stumbled against Cruzeiro, but managed to dispatch Vasco and Internacional.
To all those placing bets, stop crossing your fingers and start crossing your legs. In this audacious world of football, it's Flamengo who might just have the edge.
