Flamengo off to a shaky start this season, check out the stats | OneFootball

After closing out 2025 with four titles, Filipe Luís’s Flamengo is experiencing significant fluctuations at the start of this season. Despite having played only five times with the main squad, the team has not been performing well, is at risk of elimination in the first phase of the Campeonato Carioca, and lost the Supercopa do Brasil to Corinthians.

Flamengo began the year with the under-20 team competing in the Campeonato Carioca, as has been the case in recent seasons. However, after a poor start, with two losses in three games and the risk of relegation in the State Championship, the professionals returned under the command of Filipe Luís.

After defeating Vasco, the Rubro-Negro entered a negative streak that continues to this day, with four matches without a win (against Fluminense, São Paulo, Corinthians, and Internacional). During this period, there were three losses and one draw.

Declining Sectors

The overall performance of Flamengo’s starters is just 26.7%, and both offensive and defensive stats are concerning. In these five matches, the team scored only four goals and conceded seven.

Additionally, Flamengo wasted seven big chances and allowed ten clear opportunities to their opponents. The team needs almost 22 shots to score, and for every six shots faced, they concede a goal. The data is from Sofascore.

With all this instability, Flamengo heads into the last round of the Campeonato Carioca still with a chance to advance to the next phase. Currently, the Rubro-Negro is in fifth place in Group B, with four points. If they win and Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu slip up, the club will avoid the relegation round and secure a spot in the knockout stage of the State Championship.

Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Sampaio Corrêa at Maracanã.
