Flamengo is strong this year, having just tied its historic record, with ten consecutive official games without conceding a goal. The brand aroused curiosity: what is the influence of games without conceding goals by national elite teams in the last ten seasons? The record holder since 2015 is Palmeiras, who left the field without conceding a goal in 283 of the 652 official games played since 2015, an efficiency of 43.4%. There were 165 home games without conceding a goal and 118 away games.
The Gre-Nal duo completes the podium. Grêmio has the second best efficiency, it has not conceded a goal in 42.4% of its matches: it has not conceded a goal in 272 of the 642 official games it has played in the last ten seasons. Internacional did not concede a goal in 40.9% of their matches and failed to find the net in 249 of their 609 official matches. Despite the excellent At the beginning of the season, Flamengo has the fourth accumulated performance in ten seasons.
These data were released by Ge's Statistic Espião, which analyzes all the official games of the season of the teams that are in Series A each year since 2015, as well as the commitments of the giants that are in Series B. The ranking below brings together the teams that have been in Series A since 2015 and that have had at least 264 games analyzed, 40% of the team with the most games analyzed, Flamengo (662). CHECK OUT:
The cutoff of having played at least 40% of the number of games of the team with the most appearances is a Statistical Spy standard and serves to avoid distortions. Cuiabá, for example, did not concede a goal in 41.3% of its matches, but only had 201 games analyzed, as it is a club that is in its fourth season in Series A this year.
performance is greater than that of Internacional, but the club from Rio Grande do Sul had 609 games analyzed in ten seasons, triple that of Cuiabá. The more matches it plays, the lower the chances of a club maintaining an excellent performance, due to instabilities over the years. Before 2021, Cuiabá had games analyzed when they faced teams that were from Series A.

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.
