Their latest results really do illustrate the point that things are going according to plan in the Fluminense rearguard. Tricolor have been stingy, with the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last six clashes standing at 2. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.
