Fluminense vs Sampaio Correa prediction 22.05.2024

• Competition: Copa do Brasil
• Date: 22nd May 2024
• Kickoff: 23:00 UTC +1
• Venue: Maracanã

An intriguing contest awaits us on Wednesday night when Fluminense play host Sampaio Correa in what will be the second leg of the Copa do Brazil third round.

Fluminense dropped their standards in the league last season, dropping from third in the previous year to seventh, and have not started the 2024 campaign well. The hosts currently sit in the relegation zone after managing just one win from their six league games so far. However, they enter Wednesday’s game with a big advantage after registering a comfortable 2-0 win in the first leg.

Sampaio Correa didn’t also have a great 2023 campaign, as they got relegated from to Serie B. The visitors were expected to respond in the third division, but things have got worse. Thiago Gomes’s side have not won any of their four league games played so far and on their way out of Copa do Brasil.

Betting Tips Fluminense vs Sampaio Correa: Under 3.5 goals

Fluminense have rarely failed to hit the back of the net in recent weeks, but they don’t score many goals. The Team of Warriors’ last scored more than two times in a game in February against Bangu in Carioca Serie A. They have played 22 games since then and only four produced more than three goals.

Goals have been hard to come by for Sampaio Correa this season. The visitors failed to hit the back of the net in each of their last three encounters, but didn't concede many goals in that spell as all three outings ended with Under 2.5 goals.
