Fluminense

DWWDLL ⚖

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of The Strongest in Copa Libertadores competition, Fluminense and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Enrique Triverio (4') was the scorer for The Strongest.

A series of accomplished showings from the Fluminense defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their past 6 fixtures combined. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 5. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels stretching back to 27/06/2021, there has been little between the sides with Corinthians winning 2 of those games, Fluminense 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.

📰 Team News: Corinthians

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Corinthians boss Vanderlei Luxemburgo to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Gustavo Mosquito (Ruptured knee ligament) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Timão will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Cassio, Bruno Méndez, Gil, Murillo, Matheus Bidu, Giuliano, Fausto Vera, Maycon, Adson, Yuri Alberto and Roger Guedes.

🗞️ Team News: Fluminense

Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz has some current player fitness concerns. Alexsander (Knee Injury), Caio Vinicius (Unknown Injury), Jorge (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Martinelli (Hamstring Injury) and Keno (Thigh Problems) will not be playing here. Vitor Mendes will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that Tricolor will likely elect for a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Fabio, Samuel Xavier, Felipe Melo, Nino, Guga, Vinícius Lima, André, Gabriel Pirani, Ganso, Jhon Arias and Germán Cano.

💡 Prediction

It seems to us that Fluminense and Corinthians could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 1-1 draw when all is said and done.
