Recopa drama: Flamengo both scored and conceded in last 4 games | OneFootball

Flamengo heads into the Recopa Sudamericana final in search of its best form of the 2026 season. After a shaky start, the Rubro-Negro has put together an encouraging run of three wins in its last four matches. However, this performance brings a statistical curiosity that raises a warning flag for the coaching staff: the team has both scored and conceded goals in all of these games.

In this recent stretch, the offensive sector has shown impressive firepower, scoring 12 goals — an outstanding average of 3 per game. The run began with a 1-1 draw against Internacional, continued with wins over Vitória (2-1) and a historic thrashing of Sampaio Corrêa (7-1), and culminated in qualification for the Carioca semifinals by beating Botafogo 2-1.

On the other hand, defensive balance remains a challenge, with the team conceding exactly one goal in each of these matches. Now, the current Libertadores champion will have to prove its consistency on international soil. Next Thursday, Flamengo faces Lanús in Argentina in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

The clash between the Libertadores champion and the Copa Sudamericana winner brings together two distinct styles, and the Rubro-Negro is betting on its overwhelming attack to bring a comfortable advantage back to Rio de Janeiro.
