Fluminense need a perfect run to chase Copa Libertadores spot | OneFootball

Fluminense will need to string together a good run of results in the next games if they want a spot in the next Libertadores. Currently, the Tricolor has 38 points and sits seventh in the Brazilian Championship, five points off the G-6 and eight from the G-4.

According to UFMG’s Department of Mathematics, Flu has a 30.5% chance of clinching a Libertadores berth. For that, the Laranjeiras Club needs to secure 27 of the 36 points still available in the Brasileirão, since the historical average to get into the G-4 is 65 points. Thus, nine wins in 12 games are necessary.

Luis Zubeldía’s team performs best at home: eight wins in 13 matches, with a 64% success rate. Away from home, however, the Tricolor has won only three times.

With that, the sequence of four straight home games will be important in the hunt for the coveted Libertadores spot. Fluminense’s next fixtures in the Brasileirão will all be at the Maracanã, against Juventude, Vasco, Internacional, and Ceará, respectively.

Fluminense’s schedule

Fluminense returns to the field this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) to face Juventude at the Maracanã, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.
