Fluminense vs Atletico Goianiense Prediction and Betting Tips | June 15th 2024
The action continues in round nine of the Brasileiro Serie A as Fluminense and Atletico Goianiense square off at the Estadio do Maracana on Saturday. Fernando Diniz’s men have failed to win their last six games against the visitors and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.
Fluminense's poor early-season form continued in the league as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Botafogo last Tuesday.
Diniz’s side have now gone five consecutive Serie A games without a win, losing three and claiming two draws since April’s 2-1 victory over Vasco da Gama.
Fluminense will be backing themselves to find their feet as they return home, where they are unbeaten in their eight games since the start of the new league campaign.
Elsewhere, Atletico Goianiense turned in a resilient team display as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Corinthians last time out.
Manager Jair Ventura will hope that performance can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as the Dragão have failed to win seven of their eight league games this season, losing five and claiming two draws so far.
With five points from eight matches, Atletico Goianiense are currently 18th in the Serie A table, one point and two places below Saturday’s hosts.
