Flamengo carry a slender advantage into their all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores round of 16 second leg against Internacional, holding a 1-0 lead from the first clash. This time, the stage shifts to Porto Alegre, where Inter will look to turn the tide in front of their home crowd.
The two sides crossed paths in Brazilian Serie A just days ago, with Flamengo claiming a convincing 3-1 victory that strengthened their push for the league crown. That result only piled more pressure on Internacional, who are desperate to avoid a third straight loss against their Rio rivals. History hasn’t been kind either — Inter are winless in their last six meetings with Flamengo, a stretch that underlines the gulf in quality, particularly with 19 points separating them in the domestic standings.
Still, Flamengo’s cushion is far from comfortable. They know all too well the dangers of this fixture, having fallen in two of their last three away trips to Internacional. A single goal lead leaves little margin for error.
Yet, on the Libertadores stage, Flamengo have often found an extra gear. This marks the fourth continental showdown between these clubs since 2019, and Flamengo have come out on top in two of the previous three, including the first leg of this tie. Filipe Luís' men arrive with confidence, riding a five-match unbeaten streak in the competition, capped off by three consecutive wins. The question now: can they finish the job on hostile turf?

Team news & squads
Internacional team news
Internacional aren't without their own concerns either. Goalkeeper Ivan is still recovering after undergoing arthroscopic surgery, while Bruno Gomes faces a long spell out following a cruciate ligament injury.
Creative midfielder Oscar Romero is also sidelined with a hamstring issue, depriving Inter of an important option in the middle of the park. It’s a bruised and battered squad heading into this high-stakes clash, but they’ll be banking on home support to lift them.
Flamengo team news
Flamengo head into the return leg with a few headaches on the medical front. Erick Pulgar is sidelined with a fractured metatarsal, while Nicolas De La Cruz is nursing torn ligaments in his foot.
Adding to their woes, Michael is dealing with an ankle problem, and Danilo remains unavailable due to a hamstring strain. With key depth pieces missing, the Rio giants will be relying on their squad’s depth to carry them through.
