Hoodoo on the line: Flu haven’t beaten Vitória in over six years | OneFootball

Fluminense will face an extra challenge this Saturday (20), when they take on Vitória, at Barradão, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the struggle to distance themselves from the relegation zone, the Tricolor is looking to end a recent unfavorable record against the Bahians.

The team from Laranjeiras has not beaten Vitória for four consecutive games, all in the Brasileirão. During this period, there were two losses and two draws:

• Fluminense 1 x 1 Vitória – 20/04/2025

• Vitória 2 x 1 Fluminense – 26/10/2024

• Fluminense 0 x 1 Vitória – 27/06/2024

• Fluminense 0 x 0 Vitória – 06/09/2018

Fluminense's last victory in the matchup took place precisely at the Barradão, the venue for this weekend's match. On May 6, 2018, the Tricolor won 2 to 1, with goals from Gilberto and Pablo Dyego, while Neilton scored for the home team.

Given the scenario, this Saturday's duel gains even more weight: in addition to the need to score points to distance themselves from the Z4, Flu wants to break the uncomfortable drought and beat Vitória again after seven years.
