Fluminense form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Fluminense's two home games in the Carioca Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.

Fluminense drew their last game, also a home match. Boavista (placed 10th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.

Before that match, a win away at Madureira.

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 13 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

The manager Silva will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Volta Redonda in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Fluminense at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
