Flamengo Defender Expected to Play Against Sport This Saturday (15th) in Pernambuco

Defender Léo Pereira is already experiencing his most prolific scoring year at Flamengo. However, the number 4 is also close to reaching his personal record for goals scored in a single season in his career. His highest tally was recorded while he was still at Athletico-PR.

In 2018, Léo Pereira scored six goals for the Paraná team. Currently, the defender has found the net five times in 2025. Therefore, he will have the remaining seven games of the season to match and surpass his personal best.

What are Léo Pereira’s top scoring seasons?

However, Flamengo is the club where the 29-year-old has scored the most goals in his career. Léo Pereira has found the net 16 times wearing the Sacred Mantle. For curiosity’s sake, the highest-scoring center-backs in Flamengo’s history are Juan and Júnior Baiano, each with 33 goals.

Does Léo Pereira’s defensive partner also score goals?

Léo Ortiz forms the starting central defense partnership at Flamengo. The number 3 is not far behind his teammate in terms of goals. That’s because the defender has scored four times this season.

Are both available for Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (12th) that Léo Ortiz is still experiencing ankle pain. However, Léo Pereira is not in the medical department and nothing is preventing him from taking part in the next match.
