With their 9 point advantage in the league table, Fortaleza fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Fluminense.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Fluminense have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fortaleza form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Fortaleza have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games.

The Fortaleza supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Goiás in Serie A and win 2-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at Santos that finished 3-3.

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 Fortaleza have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 2.

The Fortaleza fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. Fortaleza have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-1-5 (7 played).

The manager Oswaldo de Oliveira was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. Fluminense suffered a 0-1 loss to Avaí (placed 20th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Corinthians in the Copa Sudamericana.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Fluminense in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Fluminense, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fluminense manager Oswaldo de Oliveira as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Palmeiras.

Fluminense are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. The Fluminense manager Oswaldo de Oliveira has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
