Serie A: Bragantino - Fluminense preview and statistics
Only a few games have been played in the Serie A so far, with Bragantino placed 15th and Fluminense sitting in the 9th position.
Best bookmaker betting odds:
It's no vacation for neither Bragantino 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.
Bragantino form and stats
The first Serie A game here at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid resulted in a draw. Last season Bragantino's home game statistics were 5 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 6 games.
The fans are hoping that Bragantino will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Bahia (placed 4th). Before that, Bragantino drew at home versus Botafogo.
Heartbreak for Bragantino in their last match as Bahia's Ernando scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bragantino have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Coritiba in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bragantino at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Fluminense form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Fluminense have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far. Fluminense has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The supporters enjoyed Fluminense's previous game versus Internacional (placed 3rd), a Serie A 2-1 win played at home. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Palmeiras.
We have checked recent matches where Fluminense have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, one draw and two defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Fluminense now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Athletico PR is waiting in only three days.
Fluminense have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
