Fluminense Cruzeiro betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the Copa do Brasil (Round of 16) after a home win by (1‑0), after extended time, and a away loss by (2‑1) against Remo. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Serie B, they got a home win against Ponte Preta by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Cruzeiro has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 4 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 30 of the last 67 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 45 out of 67 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 4 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them.

Cruzeiro has been enjoying a good moment in Serie B and everything indicates that they should return to the Brazilian elite. In the Copa do Brasil, even being in the second national division, the fact of having a heavy shirt and being able to overcome their opponents does not change. It won't be easy against Fluminense, but with attitude, determination and commitment, the team can get the advantage. In this way, we can say that the result of the match will pass directly through what is presented over the ninety minutes.
