The final matchup of the Fla-Flu derby this season occurs, as Flamengo takes on Fluminense at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.

Filipe Luis is still in the early stages of his managerial tenure at Flamengo, but the signs are promising, as his team has a perfect record since he took over from Tite. Renowned for his defensive prowess during his playing days, Flamengo has been exceptionally solid defensively, going four consecutive matches without conceding a goal in all competitions.

Since a 2-1 loss to Fortaleza on matchday 16, Flamengo has gone unbeaten in six consecutive home matches at the Maracanã in the Brasileiro. They also have a strong record against Fluminense, remaining unbeaten in their last eight encounters and posting four clean sheets against them.

In contrast, Fluminense, which has typically been a fixture in the top half of the table, has struggled during the 2024 season. After 28 matchdays, they find themselves with just 30 points, only one point above Vitoria, who are in the final relegation spot.

This season, they have dropped 18 points after scoring first in seven matches, failing to secure wins. Additionally, they haven't beaten Flamengo away at the Maracanã since September 2022, when they last triumphed 2-1 in that fixture.

Prediction: Flamengo 1-0 Fluminense
