Corinthians desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 20 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Corinthians come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Fluminense, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Corinthians and Fluminense have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Corinthians won 1–3.

Verdict: Fluminense's quality should tell even on the road. Corinthians will push, but the visitors have too much class. Fluminense to win.
