Football – Brazil – Serie A Betting Tips
Fluminense kept their challenge for the Serie A title on track last weekend with a 2-1 win away at Atletico PR as they kept in touch with league leaders Atletico Mineiro who are just two points ahead of them.
That win at the weekend extended their unbeaten run to six matches which includes five wins over the likes of Ponte Preta, Goias, Santos, Cruzeiro and Atletico PR while their overall home record stands at an excellent 5-2-0 8/1, remaining unbeaten on home turf so far this season.
Fluminense have also built their success around a rock-solid defence which has kept a total of six clean sheets, and no doubt they’ll be looking to post another shut-out here this afternoon.
Likely anytime goalscorer for the hosts look to be striker Frec and midfielder Vinicius.
Visitors Vasco da Gama crashed to a third consecutive defeat in the Brazilian Serie A last weekend when they lost 2-0 away at Gremio which has resulted in them remaining in the bottom four of the division.
Vasco da Gama are just one point above bottom club Joinville and they face a tough away trip at Fluminense this afternoon particularly when you consider their away form of 0-1-5 1/10 with just one point gained from a total of 18 on offer.
Unsurprisingly, Vasco da Gama are the lowest goalscorers away from home in the division having failed to score in five of these matches to date.
This therefore should be a straight-forward home win for Fluminense who could take this perhaps 1-0 or 2-0.
