Atletico PR vs Fluminense Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

Atletico PR have been one of the surprise packages of the season so far and right now they look in contention for a place in the 2017 Libertadores. They are in 5th place and come into this game unbeaten in 4 matches and having taken 7 points from their last 3 league outings. Their success has been built on fine home form and solid defence. At the Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães they have lost just 1 of their last 23 matches in all competitions and their 8 Serie A home games this term have resulted in 5 wins and 3 draws.

Fluminense have also defended well but their lack of threat at the other end has seen them moving along harmlessly in mid-table rather seriously looking like they are capable of challenging higher up in the division. They were 2-0 winners at home to Cruzeiro last time out and have pulled off the odd impressive victory against the likes of Corinthians and Flamengo but even against the weaker teams they’ve struggled for goals.

This game really does look like it is nailed on to be a low scoring game. Atletico PR have only let in a single goal in their last 6 home matches and that was a penalty so it’s hard to see an uninspiring Flu attack causing them many problems here. The question may just be whether Atletico PR are good enough to find a breakthrough at the other end. They have tended to do just enough in recent weeks and 3 of their last 6 home games have resulted in 1-0 victories.

That could well be the case here again and there looks to be real value in backing Atletico PR to Win 1-0 at 11/2.
