Fluminense vs Vitoria Prediction & Betting Tips (28 June)

The winner of the Copa Libertadores against Boca Juniors of Cavani, Fluminense is only a shadow of itself at the start of the season by occupying, watch your eyes... the last place in the Brazilian championship with only 6 points to its active. Victory is not an option tonight, it is downright a duty and an obligation for Flu who can no longer afford to waste time in his quest for qualifying seats for continental competitions.

Opposed to the leader of the championship last weekend, Flamengo, the residents of the Maracana lost by the smallest of scores 0-1 thus continuing an 8th day of the championship without a victory including 4 losses in a row after those contracted against Cruzeiro 2- 0, Atlético GO 1-2 and on the Botafogo pitch 1-0. Just promoted this season, Vitoria hopes to stay in D1 this season and for the moment, it occupies a very dangerous 17th place, virtually relegated. The season is still long and the visitors are counting on creating a series of good results to get some fresh air. This began to be the case in recent weeks with four days of the championship without conceding a defeat including two victories in quick succession against Internacional 2-1 and for the reception of Atlético Mineiro 4-2, but finally, the weekend -last end, the series ended against RB Bragantino, defeated 2-1.

Excluded at the end of the match last weekend, midfielder Lima (2 goals this season in the league) will very logically be missing tonight while Lelê and André are injured and unavailable just like Arias, summoned with Colombia to play the Copa America. Announced uncertain for the clash against leader Flamengo, Marquinhos (10 appearances in the league) was ultimately not in the group and will remain uncertain for this poster. The legend of Real Madrid, Marcelo is also on the sidelines (injury) but the former resident of Amiens, Ganso (3 goals in the league) should be there, he who knows the Brazilian championship very well after playing at Santos with a certain Neymar Jr.

Midfielder Caio Vinicius (4 appearances in the league) should return from suspension for this trip to the legendary Maracana but note that Dudu (4 apps), Uvini (4 caps), Castilho (1 goal), Janderson (5 appearances) or even Camutanga, Everaldo and Alerrandro (9 league games this season) are all physically hampered and could all stay at home. For the moment, the main source of success is Willian Oliveira (5 goals in 10 games) who should be there.
