Flamengo form and stats

The visitors, who have the most scored goals (32) in Serie A, are W4-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Flamengo play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Santos (placed 13th). The attacker Gabriel Barbosa got a match rating of 8.33 in that game. Barbosa scored three goals and had 19 successful passes (of 23 total). As you can tell from the results above, Flamengo was very dominant against Santos, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Gabriel Barbosa (3) and Andreas Pereira providing the goals. Gabriel Barbosa certainly enjoyed Flamengo's last game versus Santos, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory.

Preceding that game was the away Copa do Brasil victory against Grêmio with the score of 4-0.

After this away game Flamengo return home for a Copa do Brasil game against Grêmio. That game is only three sleeps after this.
