Fluminense football fans — The Maracana should be bouncing tonight

"BTTS has been the right bet in 4/5 Fluminense home games"

Back Both Teams To Score @ 2.1011/10 in Fluminense v Fortaleza

The Fluminense and Fortaleza forward lines could enjoy themselves in Brazil tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

In Surrey last night, we got a Daggers to the heart. Woking shut up shop just when we wanted them to stay open, nicking a first-half penalty then hanging on for a 1-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

From Surrey to Brazil today for one of tonight's eight Serie A matches. Eighth-placed Fluminense host fifth-placed Fortaleza and we fancy both sides can get on the score-sheet at the Maracana.

The home side are a relatively modest W5-D4-L2 on their own patch, but they have scored in 9/11 of those games. At the other end, they've leaked in 7/9. BTTS has been the right bet in 4/5 most recently.

The visiting Lions are W4-D3-L5 on the road this term. But they've scored on seven of their last eight road trips and conceded in 5/6. BTTS has been the right bet in 4/6 and - at better than evens - it's the bet we're making on this one.
