The rot?
Stopped.
But it wasn't easy. Flamengo 1 Cruzeiro 1 was the final score, but it was also the score at 18 minutes. Nails bitten to knuckles in the ensuing 72, but all in a good cause.
Sticking around Brazil now, because Fluminense have won 9/12 at home recently and, over a longer period, 13/14 against middle-third Campeonato sides. Tonight's visitors are simian (there's a website called Wikipedia, if you're doubtful) Ponte Preta, who have lost 7/11 on the road.
Recommended Bet: Back Fluminense @ 1.528/15 to beat Ponte Preta
