The Brazilian Serie A could be one of the most interesting leagues in 2025. Flamengo are three points behind the league leader, Cruzeiro, but with one fewer game played. After a solid appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup, Flamengo returned to the games in Brazilian football. First, they secured a very good 2-0 win against Sao Paulo, but a few days later, Felipe Luis' team surprisingly lost 1-0 on the road against Santos. Flamengo didn't look like themself in the attack in that match.
Fluminense are solid this year. They are ten points behind the league leaders in Serie A, but with two games fewer played, Renato Gaucho's team still can join the title race. Fluminense punched above their weight in the Club World Cup, as they had five consecutive games without defeat until the semifinal, when Gaucho's team lost 2-0 against Chelsea. In the first match since returning from the USA, Fluminense lost 2-0 at home against Cruzeiro.
Flamengo vs Fluminense pick: Under 2.5 goals
Flamengo and Fluminense went under 2.5 goals in 11 of the last 12 h2h matches. We should expect another low-scoring game between these two teams.

Flamengo team news
After a defeat against Santos, Flamengo's head coach Felipe Luis especially pointed his team's problems in the attack. He said, "I agree that in the final third, we lacked more aggressiveness to finish plays, a little more courage to risk crosses, shots from outside the box, or even one-on-ones against a team that was so good defensively."
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique got another yellow card in the previous round, so he will skip the game against Fluminense. Beside the left winger, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, Ayrton Lucas, Michael, and Erick Pulgar.

Fluminense team news
Fluminense lost against Cruzeiro in the first game after the World Cup, and the head coach, Renato Gaucho, was deservedly dissatisfied. He said, "We did make mistakes on both Cruzeiro goals. I always tell them that the little details make the difference in football. And today, once again, we conceded two goals because of the little details. It's not because of the defense, midfield, or attack. The entire team started out not as focused as we should have been."
This was the last game for Jhon Arias in the Fluminense jersey as he will join Wolverhampton. Otavio is injured and he will miss the game as well.
