Match Preview
The "Colorado" has a storied history and a passionate following. However, last season saw them finish a disappointing ninth place. Similarly, Flamengo, a team known for recent silverware, concluded their 2023 campaign in fourth. This season, Internacional managed to reach the Copa Sudamericana playoffs but was eliminated by Rosario Central in the Round of 16. They also exited the Brazilian Cup after a loss to Juventude. Yet, since mid-summer, focusing on the Brasileirão, Internacional has climbed into the top tier, winning two-thirds of their matches, including a 3-1 away victory over Atlético Mineiro in the last round.
Flamengo had a decent run in the Copa Libertadores but was edged out by Peñarol in the quarterfinals. They’ve also progressed to the Brazilian Cup final after defeating Corinthians and recently triumphed over Juventude with a 4-2 win. The "Vultures" score at a higher rate of 1.55 goals per match, but their defense concedes an average of 1.17 goals per game, compared to Internacional’s 1.3 goals scored and 0.9 goals allowed.
