Duel between Santos & Fluminense RJ is shaping to be one of those spectacles where form goes out the window. Underway
Santos’s been all over the shop, their displays swinging from inspired to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Fluminense RJ’s grinding through a rough patch, their rearguard looking shaky.
Looking at past contests, it’s a toss-up. Santos’s had the upper hand lately, but the game’s got a terrible memory.
Personal take: Both sides’ve got problems. Santos’s engine room’s stuttering, while Fluminense RJ’s attack lacks a spark.
When it comes to the Serie A, this game carries added significance. The league’s battle for European places means every point matters, and both clubs know a statement win here could shift momentum in the rankings.

That said, there’s something about this one—who knows, it’s the game where somebody delivers.

Fluminense RJ’s 3.3 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
