Fortaleza vs Fluminense Predictions

• Fortaleza have won their last four home matches in the Brazil Serie A.
• Fluminense have lost all seven away games this season.
• Ten of Juan Lucero’s 12 goals this season have come at home.

Dreadful Fluminense set for another tough test

Fortaleza’s four-match unbeaten run came to an end at Vasco da Gama in midweek but they are well-placed to bounce back against the dismal Fluminense on Sunday evening.

Leao do Pici are yet to lose at home this season and have won each of their last four on home turf, scoring seven times and conceding just once.

They face a Fluminense side that sit rock-bottom of the Serie A table with seven points from 14 games. They are winless in 11 matches and have picked up only three points in that period, while they are yet to pick up a single point on their travels.

Lucero to bag the points for home side

This points towards a home win, although it is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. Fortaleza have scored exactly once in five of their seven at home and two of those have been 1-0 wins, while Fluminense have lost three of their last four games by the same scoreline and have failed to score in five of their seven away games this season.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider Juan Lucero, who has scored ten of his 12 goals this season at home. He has netted four times in his last three at home and can make all the difference on Sunday.
