Fluminense vs Cruzeiro Prediction 21 July 2017
On July 20 2017 at 23:30 in the forthcoming match of the Brazilian national elite division Serie A at the Maracana Stadium Fluminense are going to play against their guests Cruzeiro.
Even though Fluminense are missing a lot of important players because of injuries and there are at least 5 layers missing from the main squad, they still manage to show comparatively good results. Of course, 6 points of 15 possible in the latest 5 games are not the results they expected and definitely not enough to compete for winning the league, it still lets them keep their position in the middle of the standings.
As for Cruzeiro, they managed to improve their performance significantly lately and that’s how they managed to take the 7th place in the standings after 14 matches played. In the latest game Cruzeiro drew Flamnego 1:1 which let them prolong their lossless series to make it three matches long already. We must also remind you that not long before that Cruzeiro outplayed Atletico Paranaense 0:2 and Palmeiras 3:1.
Fluminense won most of the latest games played between the teams. Yet, last time they met on November 6 last year Cruzeiro won 4:2 at home. We must also admit that Fluminense only lost to Cruzeiro twice at home during the last 17 years. Flu haven’t won at home for five matches in a row already while Cruzeiro only won one away game and lost four times. It seems to us that in the forthcoming match both teams will manage to score at least once.
