Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Sunday’s hosts have also failed to win any of their previous five straight home fixtures.

In their opening eight Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded three wins, two draws and three defeats, scoring eight and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 11 from a possible 24, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the standings and just two points adrift of breaking into the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a hard-fought 2-1 loss at home against Flamengo, that is the only defeat that Fluminense have suffered from their previous eight contests across all formats. Likewise, unbeaten in their last five away fixtures, a Fluminense victory can be found at generous odds here.
