Fluminense welcome Coritiba on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Fluminense come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Coritiba travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Fluminense lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Fluminense a slight edge, but Coritiba are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
