The season is still fairly new and the Carioca 1 table has to be read with caution. So far Fluminense find themselves in 1st position and Volta Redonda are placed 3rd.
Fluminense form and stats
As mentioned below, Fluminense are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Carioca 1 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio João Francisco dos Santos.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Muriel Gustavo Becker not having conceded a league goal in 262 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Fluminense, who won 2-0 against Vasco da Gama (placed 5th). A Copa do Brasil defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Figueirense.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fluminense have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Corinthians in only two days. This game is also played here at Estádio João Francisco dos Santos.
Fluminense has scored 9 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Volta Redonda form and stats
The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Carioca 1.
Redonda play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Madureira (placed 2nd). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Vasco da Gama.
Redonda were so close to getting something from the game against Madureira, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime.
Redonda are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of ten matches.
After this away game Redonda return home for a Carioca 1 game against Resende. That game is only three sleeps after this.
It's early days yet, but Volta Redonda has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Fluminense victories, one draw and two Volta Redonda wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
