It's the second opportunity for points this campaign as Cuiabá and Fluminense cross swords at Arena Pantanal.

These teams have little in common geographically as Fluminense have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cuiabá and Fluminense.

Cuiabá form and stats

The season before, Cuiabá's league statistics were 17 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, producing 4th position in the Matogrossense. Over these 38 matches they scored 48 goals and let in 40. Playing at home in the former season Cuiabá generated 12-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 31 goals and 13 conceded. Cuiabá haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Luverdense, 77 days ago.

The fans hope that Cuiabá will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the Copa Sudamericana fixture against Racing Club.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Fortaleza.

Fluminense form and stats

Let's have a look at how Fluminense performed last season in the Carioca 1: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. In total they scored 16 and conceded 2 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 1 and lost 0 with 7/0 goals scored/conceded. Fluminense has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

225 minutes! That's how long the Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio Deivson Lopes Maciel and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Two away games in a row for Fluminense, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 against Junior FC in the Copa Sudamericana.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Santos.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Vila Nova in just three days.

Head 2 Head

Data for the last two meetings featuring these two teams are: zero wins for Cuiabá, one draw and one win for Fluminense. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game. The matches between these clubs sometimes lean towards being from the last two duels.
