Fluminense imposed themselves with a 2-0 victory over Union Espanola in the previous round and continue without a loss in their last four matches in all competitions. Their home performance in the Copa Sudamericana also inspires confidence - they have won both of their matches at home in the competition so far. Additionally, the Brazilian team defeated Once Caldas 1-0 in the first direct encounter between the two teams.
Once Caldas in good formThe visitors also show excellent form in the tournament, having achieved four consecutive victories, the latest being a 2-1 win against Gualberto Vilarroel. Once Caldas have scored in each of their last four matches in the Sudamericana, with their last goalless match being precisely against Fluminense. Their convincing streak, including both wins as visitors, puts them in a good position before this decisive clash.
Prediction: Victory for FluminenseBoth teams are in strong form, but the home advantage and Fluminense's previous success against this opponent tilt the scales in their favor. I expect the Brazilians to take advantage of the home atmosphere and celebrate a victory in this match.
