Chapecoense vs Fluminense Predictions

Friday’s Brazilian Serie A action features an interesting looking clash between Chapecoense and Fluminense. It should be an exciting game with plenty of action expected at both ends.

Hosts Chapecoense came into the campaign expected to struggle and so far that’s exactly what they’ve done. On paper, they are amongst the weaker of the sides in Serie A and have proved that on the pitch as well, coming into this game in 16th place, with just 7 points from 8 games.

Big pressure is building on the team and having now lost 4 of their last 5 matches, they don’t arrive with confidence high coming into this game. Chape aren’t having issues in finding the net and are currently averaging over a goal a game in Serie A but having already conceded 13 goals and not kept a clean sheet in their last 7 matches, it’s clear for all to see the area in which they need to improve.

Meanwhile, Fluminense take to the pitch just 1 place above Chapecoense and have the exact same amount of points as them. Nonetheless, Tricolor aren’t under quite as much pressure as they’ve been playing reasonably well in the action we’ve seen so far and their fans still have plenty of faith in the Fernando Diniz project.

Indeed, Diniz is trying to implement an aggressive, attacking style of play at Flu and there are promising signs present. At the weekend, they were somewhat unlucky not to beat rivals Flamengo in a 0-0 draw they had most of the ball and play in but if they can find a finishing touch here in Chapeco, they;ll be hopeful of taking home a positive result.

Ultimately, with both teams somewhat in need of a win, this should be a game that’s a good watch for the neutral. Chape will look to play on the front foot in front of an expectant home crowd whilst Fluminense don’t sit back against anybody and will be looking to impose themselves on the game from the off.

All things considered, backing both teams to score looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. Both teams have notched in Chapecoense’s last 6 games, as well as in 3 of Fluminense’s last 4 Serie A away matches and we can envisage both sequences being built upon in an action packed 2-2 draw.
