Fluminense form and stats

5-4-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Fluminense so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Fluminense bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Fluminense last time playing, versus Bragantino. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Luiz Henrique and Fred scoring for the victors. The attacker Fred was named "man of the match" for Fluminense with a rating of 7.84/10. Fred scored one goal and hit two key passes.

2-2 away at Cuiaba before that.

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 13 games. Fluminense has won six of these, drawn three and lost four.

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

Fluminense has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Fluminense are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 11 matches.

Fortaleza form and stats

4-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Fortaleza in their Serie A matches away.

The manager J. Vojvoda was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. Fortaleza suffered a 0-3 loss to Atletico GO (placed 10th). Éderson got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, top player of the team. Éderson hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 45 successful passes (of 52 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Sport Recife.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fortaleza playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Fortaleza wins, four draws and three defeats.

A new game in only three days for Fortaleza, the Serie A home match versus Flamengo. Busy days.

Fortaleza find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Fortaleza have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
