Fluminense have fifth-worst record in Brasileirão after Club World Cup | OneFootball

Since returning from the United States, after competing in the Club World Cup and finishing among the top four teams in the world, Fluminense has not been able to perform well in the Brazilian Championship.

After a historic result in the international competition, Tricolor only scored eight points in nine matches in the Brasileirão, according to UFMG data, with a performance of 29.63%. There were two wins, two draws, and five losses.

Since July, only Atlético-MG (16.67% performance), Fortaleza (18.52%), Bragantino (23.33%), and Sport (25.93%) had a worse performance in the competition.

Despite the bad phase in the national championship, Flu has had good campaigns in the Brazil Cup and the South American Cup. The team eliminated Internacional and América de Cali (COL), respectively, and advanced to the quarterfinals of both competitions.

Next duel

The Rio team should take advantage of the FIFA date to rest the players. Fluminense's next match will be on the 10th, at 7pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, against Bahia, for the return match of the Brazil Cup quarterfinals. Tricolor needs to reverse the 1-0 defeat in the first leg and win by at least two goals difference to advance to the semifinals of the competition.
