Brasileirão: Flamengo have embarrassed Cruzeiro in recent meetings | OneFootball

Flamengo has won eight of the last ten matches against Cruzeiro

Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (02) to face Cruzeiro, for the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Leading the championship, Filipe Luís' team is looking to add three more points against the second-placed team. To achieve this, the Most Beloved hopes to rely on its ‘phenomenal’ record in this classic.

That's because, in the last ten matches between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, the Most Beloved has lost only one match, in May 2025. Thus, Mengão has eight wins and one draw, which means a 83.3% success rate. With this, Filipe Luís' team hopes to make their recent record count.

What were the last matches between Flamengo and Cruzeiro?

What is Mengão's current situation?

Flamengo has only one confirmed absence to face Vasco: Erick Pulgar. The Chilean is still recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered during the Club World Cup.

On the other hand, Flamengo is ‘on alert’ regarding the situation of four players: Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Allan and Arrascaeta. These players are at risk in the Brasileirão with two yellow cards each. Therefore, if they are booked against Cruzeiro, they will miss the next round against Bahia.

How are Flamengo and Cruzeiro doing in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo is currently at the top of the Brasileirão table, with 54 points. In this period, Filipe Luís' team has 16 wins, six draws, and two losses. On the other hand, Cruzeiro is in third place, with 50 points.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of the season. This Thursday (02), Mengão faces Cruzeiro at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro.
