RIO DE JANEIRO (Interstat) — The latest chapter in Brazil’s most storied club rivalry will be written Wednesday when Flamengo visits Fluminense in a Carioca Série A clash at the Maracanã.

Flamengo (8-3-3) enters the match in formidable scoring form, coming off a 5-1 road thrashing of Sport Recife on Saturday. Their attack has produced 23 goals in their last 11 matches across all competitions. However, their form has been inconsistent, with a 1-0 loss to Fortaleza and a 2-2 draw with Sao Paulo in recent weeks.

Fluminense (7-4-3) has been defined by defensive stoutness but offensive struggles. They are unbeaten in four of their last five, but were held to a 0-0 draw by Cruzeiro in their most recent outing on Nov. 9 and have failed to score in three of their last five matches.

The visitors hold a recent psychological edge, having won the last encounter between the clubs 1-0 on July 20. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the intense rivalry is likely to produce a stalemate, with a 1-1 draw projected.

Following this match, Fluminense will travel to face Palmeiras on Saturday, while Flamengo will host RB Bragantino the same day.
