Fluminense, fresh from a fine showing at the Club World Cup, will be back to the Brazilian Serie A, hosting Cruzeiro. Heading into this encounter, Fluminense are seventh in the standings, five places behind Cruzeiro. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Tricolor showed their pedigree in reaching at least the semi-finals at the Club World Cup. It was even better this time as they faced some of the giants of Europe.
The same spirit will be expected in domestic action, where they carry two straight wins from the last time they featured in Serie A. The hosts are looking to add to their six wins in the opening 11 matches.
While Fluminense eye a win to possibly leap two places up, Cruzeiro are only locked out of the top spot by goal difference. A 4-1 win against Gremio on Monday lifted them to 27 points, a tie with leaders Flamengo.
The visitors are on an eight-game undefeated league run and will be confident of extending the same in Fluminense’s backyard. It won’t be an easy ride though, as both of their losses in Serie A this season came in away matches.
Their recent form on the road hasn’t been great either, Cruzeiro winning just two of their last six away league matches. They failed to score in three of six away league games.

Our Fluminense vs Cruzeiro Prediction
Fluminense facing Cruzeiro comes with a lot in play, and this will be one of the picks in this round of matches. While Cruzeiro represents one of the top challengers for the title, playing away to Fluminense doesn’t offer much promise.
The hosts are confident after a good run at the Club World Cup and also come home, where they have a solid run in the league. Cruzeiro’s two losses in the league this season occurred away from home, and here they play at a venue they’ve lost in the last four visits. Our prediction for Fluminense v Cruzeiro is that Fluminense wins the match.
