Prediction
- Athletico are a dangerous team on the counter, but Fluminense have been disciplined at home and they have a home advantage in this fixture, so I feel confident enough to lean towards a home win.
- However, it will be a tight game and the teams are very evenly matched in the standings, so I’m taking a both teams to score bet in addition to the Fluminense home win.
