Betting on Fluminense Football Club
Fluminense is off to a great start in its 2023 season, not just in the Brasileirao, but also in the Campeonato Carioca, where it was crowned champions after defeating Flamengo in the final.
Under the guidance of Fernando Diniz, it also secured victories in the first two matches of the Copa Libertadores against Sporting Cristal and The Strongest, while also comfortably winning its first match of the local tournament.
This time around, the Tricolor will make its debut in front of its home crowd at the Maracaná stadium. In fact, it has only lost one match out of the 10 it has played in all competitions this season in that field, including two impressive results in the Campeonato Carioca.
During the semifinals, Fluminense turned the tie around against Volta Redonda, winning 7-0, while in the final, after losing the first leg 2-0, it crushed Flamengo 4-0 at home.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Nino, Felipe Melo, Marcelo; André Trindade, Alexsander; Jhon Arias, Paulo Ganso, Lima; Germán Cano.
Betting on Club Athletico Paranaense
If Fluminense’s season start is positive, Athletico Paranaense’s is not far behind. It ended the Paranaense Championship as undefeated champions, conceding only nine goals in 17 matches.
Its performance continued in the first two matches of the Copa Libertadores, where it drew with Alianza Lima in Peru and then defeated Atletico Mineiro at home. In the first matchday of the Brasileirao, it also won against Goias.
As visitors, Paulo Turra’s team won all seven matches it played in the Paranaense Championship, conceding only five goals. However, it lost the first leg of the third round of the Copa do Brasil against Club de Regatas, and as mentioned earlier, it also drew in Lima against Alianza.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bento; Khellven, Zé Ivaldo, Thiago Heleno, Pedrinho; Fernandinho, Erick; Agustín Cannobio, David Terans, Tomás Cuello; Vitor Roque.
JefeBet Prediction
In recent head-to-head matchups between these teams, the games have been quite exciting thanks to a good number of goals scored.
Three out of the last five encounters ended with at least three goals in total, while the last four matches played at Fluminense’s home ground finished with at least three goals on the scoreboard.
Moreover, these clubs have been exchanging victories and defeats smoothly, as each has won four out of the last eight games. That’s why, it’s safer to go for the Over 2.5, which is at (-105) on DraftKings and will earn you $95 for every $100 bet.
Prediction: Over (FLU 2 – ATH 1)
