Fluminense vs Atletico GO Prediction & Betting tips
While the UEFA Nations League is taking center stage in Europe, the regular championship will continue in South America. Due to the time differences, English weeks are on the program. In the night from Wednesday to Thursday there will be a duel between Fluminense and Atletico-Go.
The euphoria of promotion has long since vanished among the guests and the team is in last place in the current Serie A table. Accordingly, even a point win with the last form strong home side would be seen as a success. The hosts celebrated three wins in the last four games and are heading towards the top of the table.
Fluminense:
As the oldest football club in the Rio de Janeiro region, Fluminense is one of the most important teams in Brazilian club football. To date, there are four championships (most recently in 2012). In the recent past, however, the lower half of the table has mostly been the home of the club. Since winning the title, the club has only reached a single-digit position in the table in 2014 (6th).
At least a single-digit place in the table is also the goal this season. The first interim conclusion after six of 38 league games is satisfactory. The Hellmann-Elf are currently on the strong fourth place in the table and celebrated three wins in the last four league games.
Among other things, the team from Rio de Janeiro prevailed against the current leaders Internacional (only defeat) and against the table third Vasco da Gama with 2: 1.
The outstanding player in the last few weeks is the oldest player in the squad. Captain Nene should be known to some fans because of his European past (PSG, Monaco, West Ham, …). Despite his 39 years of age, he is an asset and has already scored three goals.
However, Nene is not the only notable player in the squad. Former international Fred (striker 36 years old) and Ganso, one of Neymar’s best friends, also play for Fluminense. With the Portuguese Marcos Paulo Hellmann has a top talent that will soon bring the club the next million dollar transfer.
A healthy mix of a lot of routine and young talent seems to be right at the moment and is causing a little euphoria at the club from Rio de Janeiro. With the existing self-confidence between Fluminense and Atletico-Go, the prognosis for the home win is obvious.
Atletico GO:
Four years after the city of Goias was founded (1933), the Atletico Clube Goianiense football club was founded. The “Atleticano” are the oldest club in the city, which now has over 1.2 million inhabitants.
After 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017, the club will play in the Brazilian Serie A for the fifth time this season.
The Serie A return last year wasn’t for the faint of heart. On the last day of the match there was a goalless draw against fellow promoted Sport Recife and only thanks to the simultaneous defeat of America MG did the Barroca eleven defend their fourth, and final, promotion place.
A draw at the end of the season was no real surprise, as no fewer than 17 of the 38 league games ended with a point-sharing.
After the season started late due to a game canceled on the first day of the game, the promoted team collected four out of six possible points in the first two home games and knew how to surprise. But in the last few days the form curve has clearly been pointing downwards and Atletico-Go has been completely ranked in the table.
In the last three league games, the promoted team not only suffered a defeat, but also missed a goal of their own in all three games.
