Fluminense receive Cuiabá for another absorbing Serie A fixture here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.
- Fluminense have the most clean sheets (3) in Serie A
- Cuiabá have scored in all their away matches so far.
Cuiabá have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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 Fluminense and Cuiabá.
Fluminense form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Fluminense's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.
A strong away win for Fluminense against Cruzeiro the last match, as Cano and Ganso were on target. The striker Cano bettered all the other players in that game and managed a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Cano scored one goal and hit the woodwork once.
Before that, Fluminense drew at home versus Vasco da Gama.The match schedule is unforgiving for Fluminense as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. Flamengo are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Fluminense at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Cuiabá form and stats
Cuiabá are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Cuiabá might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Atletico Mineiro proved too strong as Cuiabá slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Arena Pantanal. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Atletico Mineiro was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Pitta, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 6.84. Pitta dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus America Mineiro at their stadium, the result 2-1.Cuiabá have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
