Venue: Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho (78838 seats)

The managers Jorge Jesus and Odair Hellmann are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie A league table.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Flamengo and Internacional.

Internacional have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Flamengo form and stats

This stadium, Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho, has been a fortress for Flamengo in the Serie A so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 9-0-0. The Flamengo fans aren't used to losing here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho and will expect new points from this game. Flamengo has played 14 games in a row here without a defeat. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena.

Happy days for Flamengo in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Cruzeiro (placed 18th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Santos in a game that was won 1-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as São Paulo are coming to town in three days.

Goals are plentiful at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in the league this season as Flamengo has scored 26 goals here in 9 attempts. From these home matches, Flamengo have conceded only 8 goals.

Internacional form and stats

There's been little loot from Internacional's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the Serie A. Internacional only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The fact that Internacional have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Internacional won their last game, 1-0 versus Chapecoense played at home. A loss against Athletico PR was the result prior to that, in a Copa do Brasil home game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Internacional are hosting Palmeiras in the Serie A only four days away.

The attacking power of Internacional when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. 11 goals have been conceded by Internacional in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Internacional - Flamengo 2-1 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Flamengo won 5 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Internacional has 4 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 4 / 6
