Fluminense and Audax-RJ face each other at 6 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday, at Maracanã, for the seventh round of the Carioca Championship. Both teams try to win again at the State.
Tricolor doesn’t know what it’s like to win for three games, since defeating Madureira on January 22nd. Since then, they have drawn with Boavista and lost to Botafogo and Volta Redonda.
With the classic against Vasco just the other weekend, Diniz should send the main team to the field for the third game in a row this Sunday. The likely novelty is Jorge, who came from Palmeiras and can win his first opportunity in the team considered as a starter. Without André, suspended, Felipe Melo is the favorite for the spot in the middle. And the tendency is for Keno to be kept in attack alongside Cano.
Audax, in turn, has not won since January 15, when they beat Botafogo’s reserves. After that, they drew with Vasco, Nova Iguaçu and Bangu and lost to Volta Redonda.
The only absence is the defender Carlão, who was not being used, agreed to terminate the contract amicably and transferred to Campinense-PB. Júnior Lopes had been practically repeating the team at the beginning of Carioca, but against Bangu he stopped three players: defender Castro, defensive midfielder Keverton and striker Romarinho. The coach can repeat the lineup of the last game or give the trio a new chance.
Bet 1: Fluminense to score +1.5 goals – 1.50
The Fluminense team arrives with favoritism to face the Audax Rio team with the support of their fans. With that, with a strong offensive power, it is a good guess to believe that Tricolor das Laranjeiras will score, at least, two goals apart.
Bet 2: For Fluminense to win halftime – 1.80
With a technical level superior to that of the opponent and seeking to recover lost points in the competition, Fluminense should impose itself against Audax Rio and already win the match in the first 45 minutes, being a considerable guess for the match.
Bet 3: To have +9.5 corners – 1.61
Gathering statistics of the two teams and taking into account the possible technical nature of the game, there is a good tendency that several corner kicks will be scored in the game, being a good guess to believe that at least ten corners will be scored in the game
