Fluminense vs Argentinos JRS Prediction (08.08.2023)

In the early hours of Wednesday, Fluminense and Argentinos Juniors clash at the Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho in the second leg of the last-16 of the Copa Libertadores. The first leg ended 1-1 in Argentina, so it’s all to play for in this second leg.

The Brazilian team have hit a bit of an inconsistent run of form of late, although they are unbeaten in three games, having also suffered just one defeat in their previous six outings in all competitions.

Their recent outings have lacked something in the way of goals, as seven of their last eight matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Fluminense has a poor recent record in the Copa Libertadores, as they have failed to win in their previous four games in the competition, having lost two and drawn two games in the run. Their recent games in the Copa Libertadores have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in all four winless matches.

The visitors are winless in their last two games after winning three straight games in all competitions. The 1-1 draw in the first leg continued a low-scoring trend for the Argentinian club, as six of their last eight games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Argentinos Juniors have recently enjoyed a slightly inconsistent run of form in the Copa Libertadores. Although they have won just three of their last seven matches, they have also suffered just one defeat in the mixed recent run of form.

Their recent matches in the competition have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in 12 of their 15 games.

Argentinos Juniors’ recent results in the Copa Libertadores on their travels have been poor, as they have won just one of their last five away games.

The first leg of this tie was low-scoring, and I expect this game to follow suit. Therefore, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
