The all-time record between Flamengo and Santos is so, so tight 📊 | OneFootball

Flamengo and Santos have a long, long history facing one another with neither side showing exceptional dominance over the other.

Next Sunday, they go head-to-head for the 125th time in all competitions since their first encounter exactly 100 years ago.

Santos have the slight advantage, winning 47 times while Flamengo have emerged victorious 44 times. The duo have shared the spoils on 35 occasions, with Santos outscoring Flamengo 188-168.

Meanwhile, in Brasileirão play, each side has won 25 times with 23 draws in 73 total games.

Last season, Flamengo and Santos split the season series, with Flamengo winning 1-0 in the first game of the season while Santos routed Flamengo 4-0, though the match occurred on the final day of the season, long after Flamengo had already claimed both the Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão titles.

Luckily for Flamengo, despite their slow start and currently being in 15th place, only two points separate them from sixth-placed Santos.
