Fluminense 11/8 to beat Gremio in Sunday’s Brazil Serie A contest

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Fluminense win

Odds: 11/8 @ 888sport

Looking to make it three Serie A wins on the bounce, Fluminense will host domestic strugglers Gremio in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a hugely impressive run of form, Fluminense now find themselves within striking distance of breaking into the top-six. In their 11 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins, five draws and two defeats, scoring 10 and conceding 10 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 17, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the table and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the Copa Libertadores spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 victory away on Libertadores duties in midweek, Fluminense are enjoying a four-match unbeaten run, winning three of those matchups. More impressive, it should also be noted that Sunday’s hosts have conceded just a single goal on their recent purple patch.

As for the visitors, while Gremio might have managed to pick up a much-welcomed victory on Copa Sudamericana duties in midweek, they are in the midst of a domestic nightmare. In their opening nine Serie A matchups so far this season, they are yet to record a single victory, with three draws and six defeats, scoring four and conceding 12 in return. Managing to muster just a points tally of three and sat rock-bottom of the table, it should also be noted that Sunday’s guests hold the worst attacking return in the division. As for their recent run of results, despite landing a hard-fought victory away at LDU Quito earlier in the week, Gremio have collected just a single point from their last four Serie A matchups. Facing a stern test on the road this weekend, we’re backing a home victory here.
