Corinthians vs Fluminense Prediction: The Timão has not scored for the past four matches

Things aren't easy for Corinthians and its coach, António Oliveira. The team continues to struggle, especially in attack, and the pressure is starting to build dangerously. In Brazilian football, results must appear, or patience runs out quickly. The coach is always the victim of bad results, and this year, Corinthians already changed the team leader during the Campeonato Paulista when António Oliveira was appointed. The Portuguese manager knows he urgently needs to start winning games. 

Corinthians

In the last round, the Timão lost 1-0 in Bragança Paulista against Red Bull, and in midweek, the same thing happened in Buenos Aires against Argentinos Juniors. In both games, Corinthians conceded early goals and was incapable of scoring. The squad has many deficiencies, especially in attack, and without new signings, it's not likely a significant improvement. The Timão picked up just one point in the first three rounds. Facing an opponent like Fluminense, the Paulistas must compensate for their lack of individual quality with a superior fighting spirit.

Fluminense

The Tricolor tied against Cerro Porteño in Paraguay and maintained the lead in Copa Libertadores Group A. Qualification for the next stage of the competition is well underway, and Fluminense must now focus on getting closer to the Brasileirão frontrunners. The victory over Vasco da Gama in the last round allowed the team to climb a few places, but 10th place is still modest. The Cariocas can't afford to lose this match, and even a draw seems insufficient for an ambitious club with only four points from three games.

Expert Betting Tips

Corinthians fans hope to see their team react to recent results and finally win for the first time. Fluminense continues to struggle on the road, so I don't feel confident in betting on a victory for the Cariocas. I'm leaning towards a draw, but I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of the home side with a maximum of three goals scored. Even with the Paulistas' limitations, the enthusiastic support of their fans can also influence the course of the game.
