Insights:

  • Fluminense have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Fluminense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fluminense could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Libertadores game only three sleeps ago.
