  May 14, 2025   Fluminense FC - Unión Española   Estádio Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Brazilian Fluminense will face Chilean Unión Española in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with remarkable statistical tendencies promises an interesting confrontation at the iconic Maracanã.

Flamengo's current form is stunning, especially at home. Clube de Regatas do Flamengo has won its last two home games in the 2025 Brazilian Série A with an aggregate score of 10-0 (4-0 against Corinthians and 6-0 against Juventude). Only one team has surpassed...
