Flamengo Preview – Can Flamengo win back-to-back?
Flamengo jumped up into 6th place in the Brazilian top flight following a solid 2-0 win away from home at Cuiaba last time out and the hosts will be hoping for a repeat of this scoreline in this ‘Fla Flu’ derby against Fluminense on Sunday afternoon.
Flamengo are in reasonable form right now as the hosts have won four of their last six matches overall in Serie A, picking up important wins against Palmeiras, America Mineiro, Fortaleza and the aforementioned Cuiaba.
The hosts have also made an encouraging start to the season on home turf as well with a record of 3-0-1 7/4, while the bigger picture shows that Flamengo have won seven of their last eight games at home.
Fluminense Preview – Can Fluminense halt slump in derby?
Fluminense bring a four-match winless run into this local derby against Flamengo having drawn with Fortaleza and Corinthians along with suffering defeats against Atletico GO and Athletico PR, the latter being a particularly heavy 4-1 loss at home.
The draw has featured prominently to date in Fluminense’s results overall as the ‘visitors’ have drawn four of their eight matches so far this term and prior to their two recent defeats, Fluminense had put together an impressive 14-match unbeaten run in Serie A.
The recent losses though may just hand the initiative to Flamengo here.
