Fluminense struggle in Rio derbies in 2025 | OneFootball

Fluminense is experiencing a year of ups and downs in the Rio classics. In ten matches against Flamengo, Vasco, and Botafogo this season, the Tricolor has only three victories, as well as three draws and four losses, a performance considered below expectations.

The best results came against Vasco, with two comeback victories: 2-1 at Mané Garrincha in the Carioca, and 2-1 at Maracanã in the Brasileirão. However, Flu was defeated in the last meeting, 2-0.

Against Botafogo, the numbers are balanced: two losses at the beginning of the year and an important win in the second round.

As for Flamengo, the team has yet to win in 2025, with two draws and two losses, including finishing as runner-up in the Campeonato Carioca.

Even with the negative record, Luís Zubeldía's team will still have the opportunity to change this scenario. Fluminense faces Flamengo in the second round of the Brasileirão and will play Vasco in two matches valid for the Round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, three classics that could serve as a chance for recovery and affirmation in the season.
