The numbers
On April 2, 2026, Bragantino will host Flamengo at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, with kick-off scheduled for 17:30. This match is particularly significant as Flamengo has historically dominated their encounters, having won their last three games against Bragantino, including a decisive 3-0 victory in their most recent meeting.
In terms of recent form, Bragantino has struggled, recording only 3 wins, 5 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 league games. In contrast, Flamengo has been more successful, achieving 5 victories, 1 defeat, and 4 draws in the same period. Flamengo’s current momentum is evident, as they have won 4 of their last 5 matches, while Bragantino has faced difficulties, losing 11 of their last 20 games.
Statistically, Flamengo has been more prolific in front of goal, averaging 1.8 goals per game compared to Bragantino’s 1.1. This disparity in scoring ability is underscored by the fact that Flamengo’s top scorer, Samuel Dias Lino, has netted 3 goals this season, while Bragantino’s leading scorers—Lucas Barbosa, Juninho Capixaba, Jhon Jhon, and Eduardo Sasha—each have only 2 goals to their name.
Possession statistics from their last games also highlight the contrasting styles of play. Bragantino maintained 59% possession in their last match, while Flamengo had 46%. This suggests that Bragantino may focus on controlling the game, but their inability to convert possession into goals has been a recurring issue.
