One of the matches in the latest round of the Copa do Brasil will take place this Thursday at the Estádio Aníbal Batista de Toledo, where local side Aparecidense will host Fluminense. I’m offering a bet on the outcome of this clash that comes with solid chances for success.

Match preview

This season, Aparecidense continues to live up to its status as a typical mid-table side in the lower divisions, despite efforts to at least achieve consistent performances at their own level. The team failed to stay in Serie C, finishing the season in 18th place, which automatically sent them down a tier. Still, compared to other fourth-division clubs, they retain a competitive edge, as evidenced by their confident win over Goiania in the last round.

In the Copa do Brasil, Lúcio Flávio’s men have been surviving thanks to their fighting spirit. They already got past Votuporanguense on penalties and then narrowly defeated Cascavel at home with a 1-0 scoreline. However, the 0-1 loss to Fluminense in the first leg highlighted the difference in class—but the scoreline keeps the intrigue alive ahead of the home return fixture.

Fluminense, despite their ambitions and status, have shown inconsistent results this season. The team failed to rise above 13th in the Brazilian league, picking up 46 points, but that was enough to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. There, Fernando Diniz’s side started well, but then stumbled against San José (0-1) and Unión Española (1-1), though in the last round they took confident revenge on the Chileans with a 2-0 win.

The state championship final against Flamengo went to their rivals, but reaching the decisive stage in itself shows the potential of “Flu”. However, the team has clearly lacked consistency in recent matches: a draw with Juventude (1-1) and a defeat to Atlético Mineiro (2-3) in their last two Serie A games underline this. Nevertheless, they’ve shown decent attacking output—averaging over a goal per match, though conceding almost as many at the other end.

Probable line-ups

  • Aparecidense: Matheus – Gomes de Moura, Wellington Carvalho, Lucas Rocha, David – Buba, Santos Chaves, de Freitas Rodrigues, Marques Carneiro – Brito, Ferreira Alves
  • Fluminense: Fábio – Fuentes, Freitas, Ignacio, Samuel Xavier – Martinelli, Gustavo, Ganso, Arias, Keno – Cano

Match facts and head-to-head

  • The teams have met only once in their history, when Fluminense claimed a 1-0 victory
  • The “Both teams to score” bet landed in three out of Fluminense’s last five matches
  • The “Over 2.5 goals” bet was successful in two out of five matches

Prediction

The first leg proved that even against a clear underdog, Fluminense prefers to play cautiously and avoid unnecessary risks, which led to a late victory. The scenario could be similar in the return match. Here, we suggest taking “Fluminense to win and under 3.5 goals” at odds of 1.93.
