Comparative Team Statistics: Flamengo vs Atletico-MG

History leans Flamengo's way lately

There are twenty recorded meetings between these two stretching back to 2020, spanning Serie A, Copa do Brasil and the Supercopa. Results have swung both ways over that period, with several tight 1-0 and 1-1 scorelines mixed in.

The most recent meeting, back in April 2026, saw Flamengo win 4-0 away at Atletico's own ground. That's the freshest data point in the head-to-head, even if older meetings show Atletico have had their moments too.

League table tells a clear story

Flamengo sit top with 60 points from 28 games, an 18-6-4 record, scoring 55 and conceding 23. Atletico-MG are seventh with 40 points from 27 games, going 11-7-9, with 36 scored and 32 against.

That's a 20-point gap with Flamengo having played one more match. It reflects a season of sustained results for Flamengo against a more mixed campaign for Atletico.

The table gap looks more about consistency over a whole season than a one-off quality difference.

Personnel to watch

Flamengo's attack is led by Pedro with 16 goals in 28 appearances, while Samuel Lino has added 9 goals and 7 assists. Carrascal matches that assist tally and Arrascaeta continues to chip in with creativity from midfield.

On discipline, Carrascal has already picked up two reds this season, with Pulgar and Jorginho also carrying yellow card counts for Flamengo. Atletico's Ruan Tressoldi and Renan Lodi have picked up bookings too, so referees could have their say. Junior Santos is listed as questionable for Atletico, and Flamengo have similar question marks over Daniel Thuram and Ryan Roberto, though with the match still a month away it's too early to treat any of that as confirmed absence.
