Palmeiras could overtake Flamengo as top scorers this season | OneFootball

Currently, Flamengo and Palmeiras Have the Best Attacks of 2025

Flamengo and Palmeiras will face off in the final of the Copa Libertadores 2025. However, in addition to that, the teams are also competing for the Brasileirão and, not by chance, are the runner-up and leader, respectively, of the tournament. But the ‘coincidences’ don’t stop there.

That’s because Flamengo and Palmeiras are tied as the Série A clubs with the most goals scored in 2025. Thus, each team has already found the back of the net 120 times in the current season.

Can Palmeiras Stand Alone as the Best Attack?

Yes! Basically, Palmeiras still has a match to play in the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. This Thursday (06), Alviverde faces Santos at Allianz Parque, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

Flamengo, on the other hand, has already played their round and only managed a 2-2 draw with São Paulo. With this, Palmeiras can surpass Fla in the number of goals scored this year and stand alone as the best attack of the season.

And What About Defense?

On the other hand, it’s worth noting that Flamengo has a defense considered better than Palmeiras’. That’s because, while the São Paulo team conceded 53 goals, the Rubro-Negro has only conceded 40, including the two in the draw with São Paulo on Wednesday (06).

What’s the Situation in the Brasileirão Standings?

With the 2-2 draw against São Paulo on Wednesday (05), Flamengo reached the same 65 points as the leader Palmeiras. However, as mentioned before, the São Paulo team still has a match to play this round and could maintain their isolated lead in the Brasileirão.

And When Is the Libertadores Final?

In the Copa Libertadores, however, the story changes. Unlike the Brasileirão, which is a round-robin tournament, the South American competition will be decided in a single match. Thus, Flamengo and Palmeiras will decide the continental champion on November 29.

The final of the Libertadores will take place at the Estadio Monumental ‘U’ in Lima, Peru. Recently, the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) confirmed that the match will be at 4:00 pm (local time), which corresponds to 6:00 pm Brasília time.
