Flamengo will be looking to extend their winning streak

Flamengo host Internacional at the Estadio do Maracana in Brazil's Serie A on Sunday with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Flamengo are currently fifth in the league, with a win potentially taking them into the top four. Renato Gaucho's side have been in incredible form of late, winning their last eight games across all competitions.

The Mengao will look to extend their winning streak against a poor Internacional side on Sunday.

Internacional are currently 15th in the league and have been woeful of late. Diego Aguirre's side have only managed to win one of their last 10 games across all competitions in what has been a terrible season thus far.

It will be a tough ask for the Colorado to get anything from Sunday's game.

This will be a great opportunity for Flamengo to climb into the top four by beating Internacional on Sunday.


Flamengo vs Internacional Head-to-Head

Flamengo have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides. The Mengao are unbeaten in their last five games against Internacional, having won three of them.

Flamengo came away as 2-1 winners the last time the two sides met back in May. Goals from Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Gabriel Barbosa were enough to secure the win after Edenilson put Internacional in front early in the first half.
