Flamengo face Cusco (PER) this Tuesday (26), in a match valid for the sixth round of the Libertadores group stage. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla compared the numbers of both teams in the 2026 season to show how they arrive for the clash.
Starting with the home side, Flamengo have taken the field 36 times this season. During that span, the Rubro-Negro won 19 matches, drew seven, and lost another ten.
That means the success rate of the red-and-black team, coached by Leonardo Jardim, stands at 59.3%. In addition, the Most Beloved found the back of the net 64 times, while conceding 37 goals.
By contrast, Cusco have taken the field only 21 times so far in 2026. In that stretch, the team coached by Alejandro Orfila won seven matches, lost nine, and drew five.
As a result, the Peruvian side’s success rate is 41.3%. Finally, they scored 23 goals, while their defense was beaten 32 times.
This Tuesday (26), the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) for the clash between Flamengo and Cusco at the Maracanã. The match, valid for the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage, pits two teams in completely different situations against each other.
That is because Flamengo have already qualified for the Libertadores Round of 16. Therefore, they will look for a win in an attempt to finish the group stage with the best overall campaign.
On the other hand, Cusco will take the field only to fulfill the schedule, since they have already been eliminated from the continental competition. Even so, the Peruvian team will try to get a positive result to end their participation on a respectable note and build confidence for the rest of the season.
