Santos vs Fluminense betting preview

It's no vacation for neither Santos nor Fluminense as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Santos form and stats

Santos has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio Urbano Caldeira. We remember; it was Novorizontino.

Santos are returning here after visiting Grêmio in a Serie A game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. A Copa do Brasil defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Vasco da Gama.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Santos as they are travelling to their away game against CSA in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

Fluminense form and stats

Fluminense failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Goiás that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a Copa do Brasil defeat before that one as the away game against Santa Cruz wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

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

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 5 - 1 - 4 (Santos wins - draws - Fluminense wins).
