Betting on Fluminense FC 2022 Série A games

Fluminense, nicknamed ‘Flu’, are one of the front runners in Série A. Founded in 1902, they are the oldest club in Rio de Janeiro and hail from the Laranjeiras neighbourhood. They are managed by Fernando Diniz, who joined them in April 2022, after previous manager Abel Braga resigned.

Nicknamed the Brazilian Guardiola, Diniz is known for his intricate style of play with his team dominating possession. Stamping his mark on the famous ‘Tiki-taka’ style of play, the team are easy on the eye and are battling it out with the league’s front-runners.

One of the club’s biggest rivalries is with Flamengo, and the matchup between the two teams is commonly known as the ‘Clássico Fla-Flu’– one of the greatest derby pairings in the whole of Brazil. In the past, the match has boasted record attendance, with almost 200,000 passionate fans cramming into the Maracanã.

Their top scorer this season is Argentine Germán Cano, who has been a regular starter throughout the season since joining them from Vasco da Gama in January 2022.  Should he maintain his form and goalscoring rate, he is firmly in the race to be crowned the league’s top scorer come the end of the season.

Another key player is Brazilian midfielder André. A product of their youth set up, the 21-year-old is one of the primary assets within Diniz’s squad and his performances will be vital if the Tricolor are to finish strongly.

Fluminense will be looking to put the disappointment of losing out to Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil semi-final behind them as they focus on a strong run-in as the league reaches its culmination. While Tricolor has outside hopes of battling it out for the top spot, their more realistic objective is to focus on landing a direct place in the next Libertadores.

Betting on Fluminense FC

After a 1-2 confidence-boosting away win against league rivals Flamengo in September and with some much-anticipated games still to play against teams such as Corinthians, now is the time to consider some popular betting markets ahead of the closing matches of the season.

Top goalscorer

Club favourite Cano is battling it out with league rivals Pedro (Goiás) and Bissoli (Avaí) to walk away with the title of the league’s top scorer and the golden boot for 2022. While the odds have reduced since the start of the season thanks to his strong performances, this is still a tight race and one that is far from over. If Cano can maintain his form and stay injury free, he could be an attractive name to place a bet against.

Win / Draw / Win

Looking at the remaining fixtures for Fluminense and predicting which ones you think they will win, lose, or draw offers another opportunity to claim some winnings. While nothing is guaranteed, it’s always a good idea to take a look at the form guide and the team’s performance across the season. Overall, the Tricolor have drawn some of the fewest matches of any team in the league. Deciding if you will follow this trend and therefore predict a win or loss is up to you; predicting a draw correctly could land you some greater winnings.

Both teams to score

This bet is straightforward; it does what it says. The ask is to place a stake if you foresee both teams finding the back of a net in a particular match. There is also the opportunity to bet against both teams scoring. While a simple question, the decision as to which way to place your bet can be tricky. Perhaps you want to consider the penultimate match of the season, where Fluminense finishes with a home game against Goiás. If form continues, the two teams’ leading strikers we mentioned earlier, Cano (Fluminense) and Pedro (Goiás), could be even more motivated to find the back of the net in an attempt to finish as the league’s top scorer. It’s these factors and motivating elements for individual players that are all worth paying attention to when considering your bets.

With the 2022 season almost at a close, we hope these tips will inspire you to start considering where you will place your final bets of the season.
