Corinthians vs Fluminense prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 17, 2025
One of the matches of the 4th round of the Brazilian championship will take place on Thursday at the "Neo Química Arena," where the local Corinthians will host Fluminense. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
Before the start of the fourth round of Serie A, "Timão" are in ninth place with four points. Corinthians began the national championship with a fighting draw against "Bahia," then delivered a demonstrative thrashing to "Vasco da Gama" at home, scoring three unanswered goals, but in the derby with "Palmeiras" they came away with nothing — 0:2 away.
On the international stage, the "people's team" is doing noticeably worse: in the South American Cup, Antonio Oliveira's charges have gained only one point in two rounds — a narrow defeat to Argentina's "Atlético Huracán" and a draw with Colombia's "América de Cali."
"Flu" opened the Brazilian championship with a setback — in an away match, the team lost to "Fortaleza." However, the "tricolor" quickly bounced back, securing two consecutive home victories — first over "Bragantino," and then over "Santos."
Meanwhile, "Fluminense" is confidently performing in the South American Cup, having already dealt with "Once Caldas" and "San José." In total, the coaching staff, who are gaining momentum, now have a series of four consecutive victories in two tournaments.
Probable lineups
- Corinthians: Souza – Bidu, Pedro, Torres, Mateusinho – Ruan, Reniel, Martinez – Igor, Depay, Yuri Alberto
- Fluminense: Fabio, Rene, Freitas, Silva, Xavier, Lima, Hercules, Martinelli, Canobbio, Cano, Arias
