Fluminense vs Goiás Prediction: Fluminense hasn't won in four rounds in the Brasileirão

Since qualification for the Copa Libertadores final, Fluminense has never won again. It seems that Fernando Diniz's team has entered a decompression phase after achieving its goal of reaching the final of the competition that will be played on November 4 at the Maracanã. Rio de Janeiro clubs can no longer use the mythical stadium until the Copa Libertadores final, so Fluminense will host Goiás in Volta Redonda. The Tricolor clearly has its mind on the clash against Boca Juniors and is putting the Série A on hold. The problem is that the league has entered a very intense phase, and even with the postponement of the match that precedes the final, Fluminense still has three games to play. Goiás, in urgent need of points, can take advantage of a possible lower level of intensity from the Carioca players.

The Tricolor lost against the team in the best form in the Série A, RB Bragantino. Despite only losing by a goal through a penalty, the Cariocas didn't stand a chance against the Red Bull. It's true that some important players were missing, but Fluminense didn't have the intensity to keep up with the second-placed team in the table. Flu is in ninth place, a modest position for the quality of the players Fernando Diniz has at his disposal. Despite not playing in the Maracanã, Fluminense must beat Goiás to avoid losing any more points to the group above them. The team has now gone four games without a win.

With the draw at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá, the Esmeraldino climbed out of the relegation zone and is now in 16th place. Even so, the meager point that separates Goiás from Vasco da Gama and Santos doesn't give any comfort. Armando Evangelista's team works collectively and has performed well at a good level, except for the match against Bahia. Goiás has only lost twice in the last 14 matches, drawing eight and winning four. The Portuguese coach has managed to build a solid defensive organization into the team. The Esmeraldino will be looking to pick up another point in its fight to avoid relegation.

Although Goiás is a side that is difficult to break down, Fluminense has creative players who can create many goal chances. Furthermore, the Cariocas need a win after four winless matches. I'm betting on a Tricolor victory with a maximum of 5 goals scored in the game to raise the odds.
