Fluminense are unbeaten in their last 12 matches in all competitions. On Monday evening, they earned a decent point away from home against Santos. Having dominated possession and chances on goal, Flu will be disappointed not to pick up the three points. They sit in third place, seven points adrift of league leaders Palmeiras. Cuiaba are without a win in their last four matches following their 1-0 home defeat to Fortaleza last time out. A first half goal from Robson was enough to secure the three points for the away side. The poor run of form from Cuiaba has seen them fall into the bottom four. They will be eager to return to winning ways sooner rather than later. 2:2
