Fluminense vs Palmeiras Match Analysis & Prediction
25/07/2024 3:30 am
Fresh off the back of securing their first league win since April, Fluminense play host to Palmeiras at Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho in round 19 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Thursday.
After a horror three-month spell, Fluminense finally gave their fans something to cheer about as they secured a deserved 1-0 victory over Cuiaba at the Arena Pantanal on Monday morning.
With nothing separating the sides heading into the final 20 minutes, Kaua Elias came up clutch for the visitors as he scored the only goal of the game just six minutes after coming off the bench to hand Cuiaba their eighth defeat of the season.
The appointment of head coach Mano Menezes brought a change in fortunes for Fluminense, who are unbeaten in three of their four matches since his arrival, securing one win and two draws – having managed just two points from the previous 10 games preceding this run.
With 11 points picked up from 17 matches, Fluminense are currently bottom but one in the Brasileiro Serie A standings, level on points with last-placed Atletico Goianiense, although with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Palmeiras kicked off their return to the top of the league table as they secured a 2-0 victory over Cruzeiro when the sides met on Sunday.
In a one-sided affair at Allianz Parque, Jose Lopez opened the scoring in the 36th minute to hand the hosts the lead before substitute Gabriel Menino sealed the result in the 92nd minute.
Palmeiras have now secured 11 wins from their 18 Serie A matches while losing four and picking up three draws to collect 36 points and sit second in the table, just three points behind league leaders Botafogo.
While Palmeiras will be looking to pick up where they left off against Cruzeiro, they have struggled for results on the road in recent weeks, securing just one point from their last three away matches while scoring twice and conceding six goals.
Fluminense vs. Palmeiras Head to head
In the previous 45 meetings between these two teams, Fluminense have claimed 16 victories while Palmeiras have won 22, and they have drawn in seven. Palmeiras have scored 65 goals and conceded 51 in the process.

Fluminense Team News
After a solid display at the Arena Pantanal last time out, 39-year-old Thiago Silva should retain his role at the heart of the Fluminense defence.
Menezes will be unable to name Lucas Calegari (ankle), David Terans (calf), Manoel (thigh) and Felipe Melo (muscle), who all continue their spells on the sidelines.
