Fluminense form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Fluminense as they were promoted from Serie A last season. Happy days that were secured through 15 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses from 38 games. The team scored 24 goals at home last season and conceded 14. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

Fluminense are traveling soon after this match as the Carioca 1 match at Madureira awaits in three days.

Bangu form and stats

A job perfectly done for Bangu last season as they secured promotion from Serie D. With a grand total of 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 2 were in away matches.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Bangu's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won one of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Bangu managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

The schedule is very tough for Bangu now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carioca 1 game at Botafogo is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: ten - zero - zero (Fluminense wins - draws - Bangu wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.

Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
