One of the biggest derbies in Sports, also known as the "Fla-Flu" derby, will occur at Maracana stadium on Thursday. In the 112-year-old rich history of the Fla-Flu derbies, we have seen 440 matches, with 160 wins for Flamengo and 139 for Fluminense.
Flamengo have been a more successful club than Fluminense, especially in recent years. Since the 2018/19 season, the Rubo-Negra team have won two Serie A titles, one Brazilian Cup, two Copa Libertadores, two Supercopa, and one Recopa Sudamericana. Still, in the last season in Serie A, they struggled and finished 5th.
In Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo are at the top of the league with 23 points from 10 matches. After winning Recopa Sudamericana over Ind. del Vale, Flamengo lost its first league game in Campeonato Carioca. In that 1:0 loss against Vasco, Flamengo had the ball possession and created more chances. Still, Vasco were a more dangerous team and even failed to double their lead from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute but won the game regardless.
Despite not being as successful as Flamengo in recent years, Fluminense were much better in h2h games. In Serie A, Fluminense were fantastic in the last part of the season and have won five in a row, securing them 3rd place on the league's table.
In Campeonato Carioca, Fluminense are only one point behind Flamengo after Flamengo lost to Vasco in the last round. Fernando Diniz's side are currently on a four-game winning streak with a fantastic 13:0 goal difference.
Flamengo vs Fluminense pick: Fluminense to win or draw
Flamengo are in mediocre form for their standards, with two wins and two losses in the previous four games in Campeonato Carioca and Recopa Sudamericana. Even though they won Recopa Sudamericana, they did not impress in those two games. In those four matches, they scored only two goals.
Fluminense are on a four-game winning streak and will be filled with confidence before the Fla-Flu derby. In recent games, they have been fantastic offensively and showed they are very diverse, scoring from open play, attacking set pieces, and counter-attacks.
In the previous 11 h2h games, Fluminense lost just two times.
