The numbers point to a slight advantage for the home side, with a 44.6% chance of victory, while a draw has a 25.8% probability and an away win 29.6%. Fluminense should rely on the defensive discipline that helped them against Atlético, but needs to improve the offensive efficiency that failed against Flamengo.
