Fluminense, which has played in only one Copa Sudamericana final (in 2009) is on the verge of reaching another final... Marcao’s team, currently third in Serie A Betano, will have to defeat Palmeiras (Flamengo’s closest rival) in a two-leg series that promises to be very close. Fluminense has suffered just one loss in its last nine home games against Palmeiras at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. Fluminense has even emerged victorious in three of its last four home matches against Palmeiras: in August 2023 (2-1), July 2024 (1-0), and August 2026 (3-2).
Fluminense just lost to league-leading Flamengo (1-0) early Monday morning, just two days after crushing Coritiba (4-0) at the Maracanã, thanks in large part to a hat trick by Jefferson Savarino. This marks the second win in three league matches for Hulk’s teammates (7 goals). Tied with Flamengo and Palmeiras for the best home record in the league (11 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss), Fluminense is currently on a five-game winning streak, having defeated Palmeiras (3-2), Remo (2-1), Vasco (1-0), Platense (2-0) in the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals, and Coritiba (4-0). Another win against Palmeiras would put Fluminense in a favorable position heading into the second leg at Nubank Parque in São Paulo.
Palmeiras, currently in second place behind Flamengo, has not lost a game in the Brazilian league since August 15, a streak of 7 matchdays (4 wins and 3 draws). Lopez’s teammates (9 goals) have just earned 7 points over the last 3 Serie A Betano matchdays: at Grêmio (0-0), then at home against Bahia (1-0), and against Corinthians (4-1) this past Sunday. On the road, Palmeiras has won only once in its last eight away games across all competitions; that victory came at Cerro Porteño (0-1) in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana Round of 16.

Our Fluminense vs Palmeiras Prediction
With Palmeiras having won 6 of its last 9 home games (1 loss) and having suffered just 1 loss in its last 15 official home matches (10 wins), Fluminense could gain the upper hand in this semifinal first leg at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro—or at least avoid a loss and keep its chances of advancing alive. As the best home team (11 wins and 3 draws in 15 league home games), the current third-place team in Serie A Betano, led by Hulk, Thiago Silva, and PH Ganso, should give this strong Palmeiras squad (which performs less well on the road than at home) a tough time.
Our prediction for Fluminense vs. Palmeiras: Double Chance: Fluminense or Draw.
