- Competition: Brazil Serie A
- Date: 18.10.2024
- Kickoff: 00:00 UK/01:00 CEST
- Venue: Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro)
The big Brazilian city derby FlaFlu will once again answer the question of who is currently the better team in the country of samba, coffee, and football.
Flamengo has recently been much more successful than the two teams from Rio de Janeiro, and this season, they are also one of the top-of-the-table candidates. With victories against Athletico PR and Bahia in the previous 2 rounds, they made their way to 4th place. The very top of the table is quite unattainable, but Flamengo proves its quality with continuity. In the Copa Libertadores, they were unpleasantly surprised by losing against Penarol in the first match at home 0-1, so they will have to do their best to succeed in the second leg.
Fluminense have other concerns. In the previous round, they ended a series of 3 consecutive defeats with a victory against Corinthians. With that triumph, they moved up on the table and escaped from the danger zone. This is a very serious and dangerous season for Fluminense, but also a dangerous period, so this city derby may not come at such a good time
Flamengo vs Fluminense pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Looking at the matter superficially, Flamengo is the favorite and this squad is closer to 3 points. However, Fluminense often managed to get at least one point with a slightly more defensive line-up. There is no doubt that he will try something similar now. The initiative should be on the side of the home team, but what remains for Fluminense is solidity in the middle of the field and spoiling the flow of the ball to the rival. A victory for Flamengo is the most likely, but a draw would not be a big surprise either, under 2.5 goals is certainly the safest option.
