Corinthians won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Flamengo, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Flamengo, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Timão, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.

The Fluminense players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Botafogo recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.  In that game they had 66% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Botafogo who had 21 attempts and 7 on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost.  In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 4.  

Having clocked up 4 wins from their last 6 away matches, they've shown a good streak of form away from home of late.  

Germán Cano is the man of the moment at Fluminense right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
