Fluminense take on the visitors Flamengo in the round 8 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, May 30th at Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro).
Fluminense has improved a little in recent years, but more was expected. "Tricolor from Rio" in 2010 and 2012 became the champion of the country. But after that, there were successes only at the level of the state championship - by the way, they managed to win it this spring as well. But the lion's share of the seasons after the last "gold" the club spent in Serie A outside the first half of the standings. And the 7th place in 2021 was a quite noticeable strengthening of positions in Brasileirao. Now, while simultaneously playing in the Copa Sudamericana (by the way, not very successfully), it is possible to stay at about last year's level in the domestic championship. But after not the most successful start, they managed to win twice in a row.

Flamengo tries to regain Brazil's No. 1 status. "Vultures" quite recently were simply the best here. Both in 2019 and 2020, it was possible to take the championship title in Serie A. But in the next draw, Atlético Mineiro turned out to be clearly stronger, gaining 14 points more and taking away the “gold”. Also, in the Cope Libertadores, the final was lost - but in 2019 it turned out to win here too. As a result, serious changes were launched at Maracana: they spent money on newcomers, invited Paulo Souza to the coaching post. The Portuguese was able to secure a place in the playoffs of the Copa Libertadores ahead of schedule with his new wards. But in the championship, there was an extremely weak start, as for the 1st of the favorites: 1 win and 6 points and 6 fights. But last weekend they managed to beat Goya 1-0.
Fluminense won the derby four times in a row. After that, in April, there was a 1-1 draw, but it was the second leg of the Carioca final, and it didn't stop the Tricolors from taking the title. For some reason, the quotes are oriented in favor of Flamengo, but Fluminense will definitely not give up points so easily. So the bet on " over 2.0 goals" looks like a passing option.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored.
