The hosts head into this as clear favourites based on form, momentum and head to head record at Vila Belmiro. On top of this, we have to say Fluminense struggled badly to pull off results on travels in the previous term of Serie A.
Tricolor won 3, drew 4 and lost as many as 12 of 19 away fixtures in the league last season. They are up against in-form Santos who shocked one of main title candidates Gremio in the inaugural round. Anything but a clean sheet win for the hosts wouldn’t be a surprise here.
