Flamengo vs. Internacional: Goalless draws are a historical rarity between the clubs
The 21st round of the Brazilian Serie A features a heavyweight clash between Flamengo and Internacional this Wednesday (29), promising high intensity at the Beira-Rio Stadium. Expectations are high, especially when looking at the history of the matchup: in 115 matches played, only 10 have ended in a goalless draw, representing a notable average of just 8.6% of games with a zero-zero scoreline. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM (Brasilia time).
The duel between the Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre sides historically features an average of 2.68 goals per match. The overall record is balanced, with 41 wins for Flamengo, 35 draws, and 39 victories for Internacional, according to data released by the Flamengo communications department.
In the current edition of the Brazilian Serie A, Flamengo sits in second place with 38 points, six behind leaders Palmeiras. The pursuit of victories and a strong goal difference is crucial for the team’s title ambitions, especially considering that the number of wins is the primary tiebreaker.
An additional statistic that boosts Flamengo’s confidence is their unbeaten run in Porto Alegre. The team has not lost in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul for five games, holding a record of four wins and one draw against both Grêmio and Internacional since 2024. In head-to-head encounters against Internacional, Fla boasts an eight-game unbeaten streak, with four wins and four draws, scoring 12 goals and conceding only six during that period.
The last meeting between the two teams occurred in February of this year, during the opening round of the Brazilian Serie A, ending in a 1-1 draw. Arrascaeta and Borré were the goalscorers on that occasion. For this Wednesday’s match, Coluna do Fla reports that the game will be broadcast exclusively on the streaming service Prime Video.
