Internacional vs Flamengo Prediction: A hot day in Brazil

Internacional vs Flamengo: Prediction and odds on the Match on 21 August 2025

The Estadio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre, Brazil, will host the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 between Brazilian legends Internacional and Flamengo. Flamengo won the first leg of the match 1-0 at the Maracana, with Pedro scoring in the 67th minute, giving the away team a narrow lead heading into the second leg, but that result certainly doesn't guarantee anything other than a tough game and a lot of fighting over the next 90 minutes, and perhaps more. The rivalry between these teams is huge in the domestic league as well, but the matches take on a completely different dimension when it comes to a competition of an international nature like the Copa Libertadores.

Internacional: form and statistics

Internacional are in a very bad situation and are playing in poor form. They have two consecutive defeats, and in the last 7 matches in all competitions, they have only 1 win. Playing at home is not a big advantage, as is the case with many other teams. In the last 3 matches at this ground, they have recorded 3 defeats. In the Brazilian league, they are in 12th position with 24 points, 6 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses. In the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, they played much better and recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and one loss. It is interesting that Internacional's last two defeats were recorded by Flamengo, in the first match of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and last weekend in the league at this stadium with a convincing result of 3:1. Internacional's players already seem to have complexes from playing against Flamengo and have not won in the last 6 matches against them. Coach Robert Machado will really have a difficult task to motivate his players and restore their confidence.

Flamengo: form and statistics

Unlike Internacional, Flamengo are playing in great form, especially against Internacional. After two wins against them in a few days, they are now certainly very confident and believe that they will not have any major problems in qualifying for the next phase. However, the work is not done, and they will have to prove that they are the better team on the field where they won just a few days ago with 3:1. In the league, Flamengo are first, with 4 points more than Palmeiras, with 13 wins, 4 draws, and only two losses. Flamengo have only 1 defeat in the last 9 matches, and that was in the Brazilian Cup. On the away field, they are also playing solidly, suffering only 1 defeat in the last 8 matches. After a solid performance in the Club World Cup and the large number of transfers that Flamengo made this summer, they are certainly one of the favorites to win this competition as well as the domestic championship in Brazil.

Internacional vs Flamengo match prediction 21 August 2025

Maybe Flamengo are in better form, and have a positive result from the first match, but I think that Internacional will be very hungry for revenge. It will be their greatest satisfaction if they can knock out of the competition their biggest Brazilian rival. However, I think that this will be a very tough game, but I expect to see goals from both teams, and in the end, a draw, which will qualify Flamengo for the next phase.
