Our prediction for the match Fluminense vs Sao Paulo
“The Team of Warriors” achieved another brilliant success last season, winning the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their history (and then, in the winter, adding the Recopa Sudamericana). Speaking about the Brazilian championship, however, the club finished only in 7th place. As for “the Tricolor”, the team took 3 points less and finished the cycle 4 positions lower. However, it also took a trophy – the Brazilian Cup.
As a result, both teams went to the Copa Libertadores. And they overcame the group stage there quite confidently. Fluminense exchanged 2-1 victories in the confrontation with Gremio, having beaten the opponent in a penalty shoot-out, in the 1/8 finals. “The Tricolor” easily dealt with Nacional, after a goalless draw on the away field, scoring 2 unanswered goals to the Uruguayans on the native field.
Speaking about the inner arena, “the Team of Warriors” won only 1 out of the first 16 matches. As a result, all previous merits did not help Fernando Diniz – the mentor was fired. Performing under the leadership of Mano Menezes, the team managed to wake up, even winning 4 times in a row. Still, then there was a 0-2 score in the struggle with Vasco da Gama on the away field and a goalless draw in the confrontation with Corinthians at the native arena. And only Atletico Mineiro was defeated. “The Tricolor” is also unstable, but still the winning streaks are longer than the declines. The team was also able to beat Vitoria, but then it lost the home cup confrontation with Atletico Mineiro – 0-1.
