Flamengo RJ vs Fluminense Prediction & Betting Tips (18 October)

Flamengo RJ are one of four teams in with a genuine chance of landing the Serie A Betano title, with their cause being significantly aided by a run of seven consecutive victories, including at fierce rivals last time out. Fluminense, on the other hand, have suffered four defeats in five Serie A Betano trips recently, losing three times along the way.

It would be fair to say that Flamengo RJ are not the most exciting team to watch in the Serie A Betano, as 16 of their previous 19 matches have produced no more than a couple of goals. Given that seven of the last nine Fluminense away games in the top-flight have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

It has been quite unusual to see both teams on target in recent Flamengo RJ home matches, with this being the case in just six of their previous 19 games in the league. What’s more, Fluminense have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in each of their last four away matches at this level, so it would come as a surprise were the net to bulge at both ends here.
