Unbeaten in nine Brazilian Championship matches, Flamengo has achieved absolute success in key fundamentals throughout this period. With a strong focus on a Copa Libertadores spot and even a title, coach Andrade's team has excelled when they have the ball and strived to regain it when they have it.

According to data from Footstats, compared to the overall numbers from the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo in the last nine games is ahead in the accuracy of passes, dribbles, shots and crosses, as well as the number of disarms.

With 18 goals scored in these nine games, Flamengo has an attacking average of 2 goals per game, ahead of Grêmio. The best attack in the Brazilian league, the Rio Grande do Sul team scores 1,83 goals per game.

On defense, Andrade's team has conceded four goals in these nine games, an average of 0,4 goals per game. Boasting the best defensive numbers in the entire Brazilian league, São Paulo concedes 1,03 goals per game.

Unbeaten in nine games, Flamengo is battling to overcome Palmeiras and Avaí, who have the longest unbeaten streaks in the Brazilian league with 11 matches. If they maintain the same enthusiasm and get the fundamentals right, they'll already be a big step towards achieving that.
