Why Bet on Fluminense?
The locals are penultimate in the table, tied in points with the bottom teams and featuring a record of two wins, five draws, and ten losses, but got some air after their last victory. After a horror three-month spell, Fluminense finally gave their fans something to cheer about as they picked up a deserved 1-0 victory over Cuiaba at the Arena Pantanal on Sunday night.
This was a much-needed respite for the Flu, who had failed to win any of their previous 13 league matches, losing nine and claiming four draws since scraping a 2-1 victory over Vasco da Gama on April 20.
The appointment of head coach Mano Menezes brought a change in fortunes for the Tricolor, who are unbeaten in three of their four games since his arrival, claiming one win and two draws. They managed just two points from the previous ten games preceding this run.
With 11 points from 17 matches, Fluminense are currently bottom but one in the Brasileirão, level on points with last-placed Atletico Goianiense, albeit with one game in hand.
Why Bet on Palmeiras?
The defending champions and visitor returned to winning ways and now have eleven wins, three draws, and four losses.
Before beating Cruzeiro, Abel Ferreira’s men saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end on July 18, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Botafogo at the Estadio Nilton Santos courtesy of a second-half strike from Tiquinho Soares.
Palmeiras have picked up 11 wins from their 18 Brasileirão matches, showing their impressive recovery after a slow start that featured defeats at home against Fluminense and Athletico Paranaense.
Final Betting Analysis: Fluminense vs. Palmeiras
Buoyed by their result at Cuiabá, Fluminense will head into Wednesday’s tie with confidence as they look to continue their surge from the danger zone.
However, Palmeiras will be backing themselves to end all traces of a poor run on Wednesday. They play this match against a team they have dominated in the last 20 games, getting 12 wins and three draws. The Flu only won five times, the last time on August 6, 2023.
We fancy the visitors to secure all three points at the Maracanã with a 1-2 win.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.07. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $107 for a total payout of $207.
