Serie A Brazil
In the 15th round of Brazil's Serie A on July 21, 2025, Flamengo and Fluminense will face off. This is a principled derby in which both sides are always determined to win.
Our prediction for the Flamengo vs Fluminense match
The team from "Maracanã" finished last season with 70 points. Only two teams, Botafogo and Palmeiras, had more—and they also added a cup victory. The current visitors and eternal rivals had almost half as many points, just 46. That was enough to finish in thirteenth place.
This season, Felipe Luís and his side are doing quite well. They won the state championship, managed to progress to the Copa Libertadores play-offs from a tricky group (three teams ended with eleven points!), and topped their group at the Club World Cup. However, they lost to Bayern after that. Back in the Brasileirão, the club secured a confident 2-0 win over São Paulo. They then suffered a frustrating 0-1 away defeat to Santos.
The current visitors, after losing the Carioca final, managed to win their Copa Sudamericana group with thirteen points. At the Club World Cup, Renato Gaúcho's team reached the semifinals, where they fell 1-2 to Chelsea. Thus, in Serie A after the break, they've played only Cruzeiro—and lost 0-2.
