THE PREDICTION
Despite having a man sent off in the second-leg, Fluminense managed to defeat Cricuma by three goals to nil as they won their Copa do Brasil round of 16 tie 4-2 on aggregate. That victory ended a run of three successive defeats in all competitions since their win in the first-leg of this tie against Cerro Porteno. That first-leg was a comfortable 2-0 win for the Brazilians but they did manage just 37% of the possession highlighting a defensive solidity that they will expect to carry on into this game. The toothlessness of the visitors and lack of attacking motivation for the home team means this game is likely to be a low-scoring encounter.
