Fluminense vs Corinthians Prediction

Competition: Brazil Serie A
Date: 2nd July 2022
Time: 21:30
Venue: Maracana (Rio de Janeiro)

This will be one of the most interesting matches of this round of the Brazilian Serie A. Both teams are aiming for the highest ranking and the season would be considered unsuccessful for them if they would not qualify for the Copa Libertadores.

Fluminense have not started the season properly, but with 7 points won in the last 3 matches they caught up with the leaders, so they are currently in 6th position in the table with 21 points won. In the last match, they celebrated with a minimal result in a difficult away game against Botafogo, and the hero of his team was defender Manuel with a goal at the end of this match.

On the other hand, Corinthians is in a slightly better position because they are currently second in the table with 26 points, 3 less than the leader Palmeiras. However, the main impression at the moment is that they look quite tired because, in parallel with the domestic league, they also participate in the Copa Libertadores, where they played the first match of the 1/8 finals against Boca Juniors on Wednesday.

Fluminense will have a full stadium behind them in this match and a possible victory would mean a lot to this team in terms of self-confidence. The facts that they will have even 3 days longer to rest before this match than their opponent and that Corinthians is a team with injuries that failed to score in the previous two matches are not negligible. So we believe that the home team is closer to victory in this match. Our tip is the victory of Fluminense.
