Fluminense analysis

Currently, in the Serie A, Fluminense sums 11 goals for and a total of 23 goals against, after 15 rounds played.

Fluminense has been going through a rough patch in their recent matches, losing their last 4 matches and drawing the other. They will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back from this dip in form if they want to salvage their season.

Luiz Menezes' rigid coaching style is another variable that needs to be factored in for this match, particularly when playing away. The coach's hands-on approach, especially during critical moments, could play a crucial role in determining the outcome.

Recent performances have highlighted that Fluminense is having trouble generating goals, with a low number of goals for and a high number of failed to score matches. This suggests that the team is struggling to create quality chances and convert them into goals, indicating the need for improvement in their attacking play.

Ball possession above 50% typically gives teams some control over their opponents. For this reason, the Fluminense team usually goes for an average ball possession of 58.13% to try to control the game.

The odds are certainly not in favor of the team, which in addition to playing in a difficult away match will have to deal with the difficulties shown in the offensive phase. At the moment, in fact, it has no more than 0.73 goals scored on average per match.

Fluminense could face difficulties in maintaining their top form when confronted with a packed schedule featuring several games in a short span. Despite the odds pointing towards a close contest, the team's busy schedule could impact their performance against Criciúma.
