Flamengo unbeaten at home against Sport for 25 years, relive the memories | OneFootball

Flamengo heads into the match against Sport, for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, maintaining a streak that has lasted more than two decades: the Carioca Rubro-Negro hasn't lost to Leão at home since 2000.

On that occasion (10/14), in a match valid for the 24th round of the first phase of the João Havelange Cup, a tournament that replaced the Brasileirão that season, Sport defeated Flamengo with a comeback, 2-1. Denílson opened the scoring for the Cariocas, but Taílson scored twice and secured the victory for Leão.

Since then, there have been 13 matches at Flamengo's home, between Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão, with nine Rubro-Negro victories and four draws. The most recent match took place in the 2021 Brasileirão, when Flamengo defeated Sport 2-0. Bruno Henrique and Ronaldo (own goal) scored the goals of the match.

The history against Sport reinforces Flamengo's confidence to maintain their good home form. Playing at home, the Cariocas haven't lost in nine matches.

Flamengo's Form

The team led by Filipe Luís is the runner-up in the Brazilian Championship, with 61 points — just one less than Palmeiras, the leader of the competition.

Besides the fight for the national title, Flamengo is also focusing on the Libertadores final, scheduled for November 28, at 7 PM (Brasília time), at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. In the final, the Rubro-Negro will face Verdão, in a rematch of the 2021 final.
