Cuiaba vs Fluminense Prediction and Betting Tips | July 21st 2024

Cuiaba and Fluminense bring round 18 of the Brasileiro Serie A to an end when they square off at the Arena Pantanal on Sunday. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since September 2023, when Petit’s men stormed to a 3-0 victory on home turf.

Cuiaba turned in a resilient team display in midweek when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw with Palestino in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana knockout-stage playoff clash.

Petit’s side now turn their attention to Serie A, where they secured a 2-1 victory over Bahia last Saturday to snap their five-match winless run.

With 17 points from 16 matches, Cuiaba are currently 15th in the league table, level on points with 14th-placed Criciuma.

Elsewhere, teenage striker Kauã Elias came up clutch for Fluminense as he netted in the 89th minute to hand them a 1-1 draw with Criciuma last time out.

However, Mano Menezes’ men have now gone 10 consecutive games without a win, losing seven and claiming three draws since May’s 3-2 victory over Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores.

This dire run of results has seen Fluminense plunge to the bottom of the Serie A table with just eight points from their 16 matches so far.
