✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
Fluminense welcome Flamengo to Estádio do Maracanã in Serie A (matchday 11). Kick-off is Sunday 12 April 2026 at 22:00 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Fluminense have gone 7W 2D 1L — a 2.30 PPG return. Last five: W D W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.40 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.40 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 7 clean sheets from 10 games (70%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence.
Fluminense's form when playing at home: 9W 0D 1L across their last 10 home games (2.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 0.20 conceded per game. 8 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (80%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 10% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Flamengo — last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L — 1.80 PPG. Last five: L W D W D. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.20 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Flamengo's form when playing away from home: 4W 3D 3L across their last 10 road games (1.50 PPG). They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
The form comparison is too close to call — 2.30 PPG (Fluminense) versus 1.80 (Flamengo). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 8 H2H matches, Fluminense have won 3, Flamengo 3, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 8 H2H matches in our data averaged 1.9 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 20 Nov 2025, ended Fluminense 2–1 Flamengo — a Fluminense win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
In-Play Data
Fluminense trading profile (last 76 games, 38 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 63% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; of the 24 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 40% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 37% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.
Flamengo trading profile (last 76 games, 38 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 66% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 52% of those occasions; of the 9 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 67%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fluminense 38% versus Flamengo 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fluminense 34% | Flamengo 51%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Fluminense surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Flamengo have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 67% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Fluminense 1.73 xG and Flamengo 1.06 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fluminense attack 1.223 / defence 0.855 | Flamengo attack 1.216 / defence 0.947. League average goals — home 1.490 / away 1.020. Flamengo have an above-average attack rating of 1.216, which lifts their away xG to 1.06. Data: built from Fluminense's last 48 games and Flamengo's last 47.
Result probabilities: Fluminense 52% | Draw 25% | Flamengo 23%. Fair-value odds: Fluminense 1.91 | Draw 4.00 | Flamengo 4.42. Fluminense hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 54% | Total xG 2.79. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.79 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 54% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Fluminense as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Fluminense offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.79 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Over 2.5 — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging only 1.9 goals per game across 8 H2H matches points the other way.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Fluminense 10% (last 10 home games) | Flamengo 60% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Flamengo beat Fluminense 1-2 at Estádio do Maracanã, Regular Season - 11, in the Serie A. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Fluminense 1.73 xG and Flamengo 1.06 xG, a combined 2.79. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Flamengo outscored their 1.06 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Fluminense attack 1.22 / defence 0.85 against Flamengo attack 1.22 / defence 0.95, drawn from 48/47 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Fluminense 52% | Draw 25% | Flamengo 23%, with Fluminense to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a Flamengo win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 77% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Fluminense 34%, Flamengo 51%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Fluminense's trading profile (76 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and conceded here.
Flamengo's trading profile (76 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Flamengo arrived the stronger side — 1.96 PPG against 1.45. That form edge translated into the three points. Fluminense (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.71 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
