Unión Española
WLDLWL
Unión Española will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 Campeonato Nacional defeat in their last game at the hands of Audax Italiano.
José Sierra's Unión Española have managed to score a sum total of 9 times over their prior six outings. At the other end, the number of goals that they have conceded in those fixtures stands at 6.
Fluminense
LWWWWW 🔥
Fluminense go into this game following on from a 0-2 Serie A win to defeat Corinthians in their most recent game.
In that game, Fluminense managed 41% possession and 8 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Fluminense, goals were scored by Renê (63') and Jhon Arias (82'). At the other end, Corinthians had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
A series of very capable performances from the Fluminense defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their past 6 outings combined. In that period, their own forwards have managed to score 11. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this match, of course.

Prediction
We believe that Unión Española will need to apply a lot of pressure to score against this Fluminense team who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
Therefore, we predict a narrow 0-1 winning score for Fluminense at the end of the 90.
It should be a good one.
