These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Flamengo won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Flamengo’s most prolific scorer has been Barbosa Almeida. He has netted three goals over the last five matches. Róger Guedes and Fábio Santos are the top scorers for Corinthians in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
