Flamengo 's consistency as a visitor has drawn attention and consolidated one of the team's best recent moments away from Rio. Since September of last year, Rubro-Negro has not lost away from home, now reaching 22 unbeaten matches. The last defeat occurred on September 22, 2024, against Grêmio, in the Brasileirão. Since then, Flamengo has 14 wins and eight draws in 22 away matches, including Campeonato Carioca, Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão and Libertadores.
The retrospect reinforces the solidity of Filipe Luís 's work leading the alternative team, which won again this Thursday (1st), against Botafogo-PB, away from home, in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. The 1-0 triumph kept the unbeaten streak alive. The current record is the club's second highest away from home in the century. Between 2010 and 2011, Flamengo went 24 games unbeaten outside of Rio under Vanderlei Luxemburgo, a streak that could be equaled this Sunday (4), if the team scores against Cruzeiro at Mineirão.
The match against the team from Minas Gerais will have symbolic importance. This is because Cruzeiro has not beaten Flamengo in Belo Horizonte for almost ten years. The last victory was in June 2015, in the fifth round of the Brasileirão, when they won 1-0. Since then, the Rubro-Negro has accumulated six wins and two draws playing as a visitor against Raposa. In the last two years, Flamengo beat the team from Minas Gerais away by 2-0 (in 2023) and 1-0 (in 2024), both games valid for the Brazilian Championship.
In addition to the chance to equal the record, the match is important for another reason. On May 7, Flamengo will face Central Córdoba in Argentina for the Libertadores. If they maintain this streak at Mineirão, they could surpass the record in the international duel. The unbeaten streak began under Tite, in the coach's penultimate match, in a goalless draw with Peñarol for the Libertadores. Since then, the team has undergone changes, but their performance as visitors has remained solid.
The list of 22 unbeaten matches includes important clashes, such as victories over Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro away in the Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão, as well as tough draws against Corinthians , LDU and Vasco, and significant victories such as the 5-0 victory over Bangu. The offensive and defensive performance is also impressive. There were 31 goals scored and only five conceded throughout the sequence. Balance has been the hallmark of Filipe Luís' team, even using alternative squads in some games.

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face each other again this Wednesday (6), at 7 pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be held at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , with live broadcast on the Premiere and Sportv channels.
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, Galo won 1-0, which guarantees them the advantage of playing for a draw . Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro Red-Black team needs a simple victory to take the decision to penalties or win by two goals to guarantee direct qualification.
Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.
For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face off this Wednesday (6) in a decisive duel for the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil. The match takes place at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , and will be broadcast live on Sportv and Premiere.
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 and now has the advantage of a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro , coached by Filipe Luís, needs a simple one-goal victory to take the final to penalties. A win by two or more goals will advance directly to the next stage of the tournament.
Atlético is in good form. Cuca's team has won its last two matches. First, it beat Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, despite playing away from home. Last weekend, in a Brazilian Championship match, the Minas Gerais team dominated Red Bull Bragantino and emerged with a 2-1 victory.
On the red-and-black side, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with important absences. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo are not on the roster due to workload constraints, a result of the season's backlog of matches. Flamengo 's mission will be to win with authority away from home to maintain its chance of winning another Copa do Brasil title. The club has won the title in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.
The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.
Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .
In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.
Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
