Prediction published on 18/06/2022, 14:19  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Wins over Botafogo and Fortaleza have propelled Avai to the top half of the Brazilian Serie A and they will hope to extend the run with three points away to Fluminense. Hosts Fluminense haven’t been doing well lately and go into this game on 15 points in 11th place while Avai have 17 points and are seventh. Fluminense are coming from a 0-0 draw with America Mineiro; that was the third game in four that they failed to score. In three of their last five matches, they have conceded to or more goals. At home, it has also been a bit shaky, losing twice in the last three matches, but they have three wins in the five matches and only failed to score once. Four of their last five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals. They haven’t beaten Avai in the last four meetings between the two sides.

Avai have a reason to be optimistic about this game, not just because of their back-to-back wins in the last two matches, but they haven’t also lost to Fluminense in the last four meetings. In their last game, they beat Fortaleza 3-2 for their second straight win after earlier beating Botafogo 1-0. Their latest result marked the third time in five matches that they conceded two goals and at the same time three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Both sides have scored in four of the last five matches, with Avai keeping just one clean sheet. It hasn’t been really great for them away from home though; they’ve lost three of the last four and have one win in the last five.
