Fluminense vs Cuiaba Predictions

• Fluminense have lost just one of their last ten home games in all competitions, winning six.
• However, Roger Machado’s men have conceded in six of their last seven home fixtures.

Last season’s fifth place finishers Fluminense are fancied to bag their first win of the 2021 Brazilian Serie A campaign on Sunday, though opponents Cuiaba could get themselves on the scoresheet at Maracana.

Both sides picked up a draw on the opening day with Fluminense playing out a goalless stalemate at Sao Paolo, while Cuiaba shared four goals in their first top flight outing against Juventude.

That represented a solid enough start for the newcomers, though they’re likely to find life difficult this weekend with Tricolor losing just one of their last ten home fixtures, winning six.

Fluminense are in good form overall after reaching the Carioca final during the spring and can show their class here, though after conceding in six of their last seven at Maracana, we’re keen to back a home win and both teams to score. Our selection is also bolstered by the fact Cuiaba have struck in their last eight matches, bagging 16 goals in that sequence.

Nonetheless, Roger Machado’s men are expected to triumph a shade cosily and 3-1 is our correct score prediction.
