Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense have collected 16 points from their Serie A home games so far after 4-4-2.

Fluminense travelled for their previous game, a trip to Cuiaba that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Fluminense in their match versus Cuiaba as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. Danilo Barcelos was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Barcelos served one assist, hit two key passes and won 11 of 15 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Fluminense lost 0-1 at Atlético Mineiro's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Fluminense have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

Fluminense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Fluminense have conceded only 9 goals.

Artur and Ytalo scored in Bragantino's previous match, the home game against Libertad that ended 2-0.

A 1-1 draw at Bahia's stadium before that.
