Fluminense
Contents
- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Wednesday, 16th April 2025
- Kickoff: 23:30 UK / 00:30 CEST
- Venue: Neo Quimica Arena (Sao Paulo)
Corinthians had the best possible start to 2025 with the title in Campeonato Paulista, one of the Brazilian state leagues. Since then, the team from Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo have won only one of five matches in all competitions. Last weekend, Corinthians lost 2-0 on the road against Palmeiras. The guests had ball possession but created xG of only 0.27 and stayed empty-handed. After three Serie A rounds, Corinthians have only xG of 1.13 on average, which could become a big problem for the rest of the season.
Fluminense started 2025 with a loss in Campeonato Carioca. However, they are currently in good form. After a defeat in the Serie A first round, Fluminense won the next four matches in all competitions, including last weekend's victory at home against Santos. In the mostly even game, the home side was lucky enough to secure all three points deep in the second half's stoppage time. A victory like that will surely boost Fluminense's confidence ahead of a trip to Neo Quimica Arena.
Corinthians vs Fluminense pick: Under 2.5 goals
Corinthians scored only six goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Fluminense allowed only one goal in the previous four games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie between these two teams.

Fluminense team news
Fluminense have even more problems with the squad than Corinthians. They will be without Gabriel Fuentes, Isaque Silva, Otavio, Renato Augusto, and Riquelme Felipe, who are injured and will not play at Neo Quimica Arena against Corinthians. Also, Guga is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff as there are some chances for him to recover on time.
