Fluminense was one of the pleasant surprises of the recent world club championship, reaching the semi-finals. There they were already stopped by Chelsea. Before that, they had a series of 11 consecutive matches without a loss in all tournaments. Now they return to the championship, where they are seventh and have to catch up. At home, they are still unbeaten after four wins and one draw so far.
Cruzeiro is in the title race this season and shares the top spot with Flamengo at this stage. After the break, they started with a strong home win of 4:1 against Gremio. Overall, the team continues to be in good form and has not suffered a loss in 13 consecutive matches in all tournaments, not conceding a single goal in their last four away matches.
Prediction: XFluminense quickly needs to adjust to the championship wave after their good performance at the world club championship. However, against Cruzeiro, they will definitely face resistance. The guests demonstrate good form and used the break for preparation, unlike Fluminense, so I wouldn't be surprised if they remain unbeaten again.
