Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Carioca Serie A.

Fluminense might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Botafogo proved too strong as Fluminense slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho (Maracanã). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league games winning points.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Boavista.

Little scoring action? 5 league fixtures in a row with this club have had zero, one or two goals.

A new game in only three days for Fluminense, the Carioca Serie A home match versus Audax Rio. Busy days.

Fluminense have the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the prior ten meetings between these two participants are: four wins for Volta Redonda, one draw and five wins for Fluminense. Over 2,5 goals: nine times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
