Although the match ended with a narrow scoreline, the higher probability assigned to Fluminense winning ultimately materialized.
Looking at recent form, Fluminense has been on a good run, especially at home, with a dominant win in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana and a victory against Red Bull Bragantino in their previous two home games. Santos, on the other hand, has been struggling for consistency, drawing with Bahia and losing to Vasco da Gama in their recent Serie A outings. In the last five head-to-head games, Fluminense has won twice and Santos once.
Fluminense's next challenge is against Corinthians away from home. Corinthians have had mixed results recently, including a loss against Palmeiras, a draw in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, and a win against Vasco da Gama. The last head-to-head games between Fluminense and Cornthians were close, with two draws, two wins for Cornthians and only one victory for Fluminense.
Santos will face Atlético-MG at home in their next match. Atlético-MG has had a strong showing in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, winning their recent match convincingly. However, they drew their last league match against São Paulo. In the last five head-to-head matches between Santos and Atlético-MG, Atlético-MG has won three times, Santos once and there was one draw. Santos will need to improve its discipline, considering the high number of fouls committed in the match against Fluminense.
