Flamengo RJ vs Fluminense tips and predictions

Flamengo RJ to pass Fluminense test

It looks like this will be an intriguing match with both sides having their moments. Every man and his dog seems to be making noises about Fluminense but be prepared to see a home success.

Flamengo RJ have shown their resolve in the build up to this match. The hosts have reached 7 wins in 10 matches while the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 2 of their recent 4 matches on the road.

The hosts have built up a head of steam in their previous performances. Flamengo RJ have scored three or more goals in 7 of their recent 17 matches while their rearguard players have been backing up the frontline. They've only conceded an average of 0.9 goals in their last 9 games.

Fluminense have not enjoyed some of their recent journeys. They conceded at least once in 3 of their last 4 away matches. If these numbers prove significant you are likely to see the home team picking holes in their back four.

The match could unfold into a war of attrition with the two sides ultimately being pretty even. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.
