Competition: Brazil Serie A
Competition: Sun 13.September
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)

Fluminense and Corinthians have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie A match only four days ago. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Corinthians have had more rest.

Fluminense form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Fluminense have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.

The Fluminense crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Flamengo here in a Serie A match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting São Paulo (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Fluminense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fluminense as a small favourite), we find eight games. Fluminense has won two of these, drawn four and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atlético GO are coming to town in three days.

Fluminense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Fluminense have conceded 6 goals.
