Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 2.16 points a game from 31 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.71. That is 13.9 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1275, a tougher schedule than the Brazilian Serie A average.

For context, the next one below is Palmeiras, rated 1524. Their lead over the second-best side is 43 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high touches in the opposition box, very high passes completed close to goal and very high possession.

On rating, they play like a tier-1 side, 1 tier above the level of their own league.

The Brazilian Serie A itself is 12th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 1.05 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 37th to 89th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.

Palmeiras lead, but Flamengo are the better team
