Flamengo RJ
- Flamengo RJ is unbeaten at home in Serie A 2025, winning 9 and drawing 5 from 14.
- The Maracanã has been an untouchable fortress for the home side in Serie A 2025, but they have drawn both of their two most recent home games and are winless in their last 2 (D2).
- Filipe Luis’s side have won only 2 of their last 5 in the league (W2, D2, L1) and will need to shake that slump to win this one. Our Flamengo RJ vs Palmeiras betting tips suggest watching out for their next move.
Palmeiras
- Palmeiras tops the Serie A 2025 standings with 58 points from 26 games, but Flamengo RJ are breathing down their necks with 55 from 26.
- Palmeiras comes into this game in much better form, winning their last 3 games and 4 of their last 5 in Serie A 2025 (W4, D1).
- Abel Ferreira has a very balanced squad to play with and can set his side up in a number of ways, but his pragmatism and ability to adapt has been key since his appointment in 2020.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record is very even between these two clubs, with each side winning one of the trio of clashes in all competitions.
- Palmeiras won the last head-to-head 1-0 at home in the Copa do Brasil 2024 but have not won on their last 2 away trips to face Flamengo RJ. This makes the Flamengo RJ vs Palmeiras prediction especially intriguing.
Key Players
Palmeiras’ midfield maestro Raphael Veiga is an orchestrator of genius and has the ability to pick a pass or a shot when it matters most, while his opposite number, Giorgian De Arrascaeta , is a creative enigma who can unlock any defense with his vision and movement.

- They’ve scored 18 goals in their 12 road games in Serie A 2025, which is also a healthy number.
