Cuiaba vs Fluminense Prediction

Cuiaba Form

In their last three matches, Cuiaba lost 1-2 against Botafogo RJ, drew 1-1 against Flamengo, before winning 1-2 against Bahia. Cuiaba just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Serie A matches at the Arena Pantanal. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded four goals.

Cuiaba had their sights set on the Serie A title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Fluminense Form

Fluminense have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Internacional, they got a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Fortaleza, who ran out 1-0 winners. Lately, they managed to draw once again in a 1-1 game with Criciuma. Fluminense are winless in their last six away games in the Serie A, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded eight goals while scoring two themselves.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Fluminense but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Cuiaba, as well as Fluminense, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards this coming Monday.

Cuiaba won three points from their last four encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored one and let in two goals. Fluminense earned zero points from their last four games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Serie A table. They scored one goals in those matches, but also allowed seven goals against on their way to zero wins. Cuiaba have a record of four wins, five draws and seven defeats in the Serie A this season.
