Fluminense

WLWDLL

Fluminense will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-1 Copa Libertadores losing effort in their last game against Grêmio.

The only scorer from Fluminense was Lima (58'). Reinaldo (74', 77') scored for Grêmio.

In their past 6 fixtures, Mano Menezes's Fluminense have scored a total of 7 times which gives them an average number of goals per match equal to 1.17.

Their previous form shows that Fluminense:

• have not emerged victorious against Corinthians in their previous 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 home league matches.

Corinthians

LDDDDW

Corinthians head into the match after a 1-2 Copa Sudamericana win to beat Red Bull Bragantino in their most recent game.

For Corinthians, the goalscorers were Giovane (6') and Talles Magno (14'). Helinho (56') was the scorer for Red Bull Bragantino.

During their 6 most recent matches, Ramón Díaz's Corinthians have fired home a total of 5 times therefore yielding them the goals scored per game average of 0.83.

Ahead of this meeting, Corinthians have left without a victory over Fluminense when having played them away from home in the previous 6 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over their most recent head to head meetings dating back to 24/08/2022 tells us that Fluminense have won 1 of them and Corinthians 3, with the number of drawn games standing at 2.

An aggregate of 20 goals were scored between them in this period, with 7 of them for Tricolor and 13 belonging to Timão. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.33.

The last league meeting featuring these sides was Serie A match day 4 on 28/04/2024 when it finished Corinthians 3-0 Fluminense.

In that match, Corinthians managed 31% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The scorers were Wesley (40', 45') and Cacá (47').

On the other side, Fluminense got 13 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

The match was refereed by Ramon Abatti.

🗞️ Team News: Fluminense

Kevin Serna (Calf injury), Germán Cano (Foot bruise), Martinelli (Injury to the ankle), Diogo Barbosa (Arthroscopy), Lelê (Cruciate ligament injury), Nonato (ankle sprain), Marquinhos (Hamstring injury) and Marcelo (Muscle injury) won’t be able to feature for Fluminense boss Mano Menezes.

We think that Tricolor will possibly kick off with a 4-3-1-2 formation this time with Fabio, Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Thiago Santos, Esquerdinha, André Trindade, Alexsander, Facundo Bernal, Vinícius Lima, Kaua Elias and Keno.

🗞️ Team News: Corinthians

Corinthians manager Ramón Díaz has a number of players out of action. Ruan Oliveira (Cruciate ligament injury), Maycon (Cruciate ligament injury), Diego Palacios (Arthroscopy), Yuri Alberto (Kidney stone surgery), Alex Santana (Hamstring injury), Raniele (Calf injury) and Ángel Romero (Thigh problems) will not be playing here.

It’s our belief that Timão will likely utilise a 3-5-2 formation, going with Hugo Souza, Felix Torres, Andre Ramalho, Cacá, Matheus França, Ryan, Rodrigo Garro, Charles, Hugo, Talles Magno and Giovane.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Corinthians could find themselves struggling to put one past this Fluminense side who we think will likely score & stay on top.

Our tip is therefore for a good tussle with a 1-0 win for Fluminense at the end of the 90.
