Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 98.00
Both teams are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the first half, focusing on defense rather than attacking. This prediction is heavily leaned towards given the historical context of this rivalry, where teams often prefer to maintain a solid defensive shape early on.
Over 1.5 Goals: 86.30
Despite the defensive mindset, the high probability of over 1.5 goals reflects the attacking potential of both teams once they find their rhythm. In derbies, goals often come from set pieces or counter-attacks, which could lead to at least two goals by the end of the match.
Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 82.80
Fluminense may struggle to break down Flamengo’s defense in the first half. Flamengo’s defensive strategy will likely be centered around containing Fluminense’s key attackers, making it difficult for them to find the back of the net early in the game.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 81.40
Similar to the first half, both teams might continue to prioritize defense in the second half. This prediction is particularly relevant if the match remains goalless or if both teams manage to equalize, leading to further cautious play.
Under 5.5 Cards: 78.30
The referee is expected to maintain control over the match without resorting to excessive card brandishing. While derbies can be physically intense, the teams’ disciplinary records and the referee’s style suggest that the number of cards will likely remain below 5.5.
Both Teams Not to Score: 75.60
This is an intriguing prediction as it suggests that both teams might fail to score at all. Given the defensive focus and the historical context of this rivalry, this is not an unlikely scenario.
Home Team To Score In 2nd Half: 69.90
If Flamengo manages to break through Fluminense’s defense, it is more likely to happen in the second half when they can capitalize on any fatigue or lapses in concentration from Fluminense’s players.
Under 2.5 Goals: 72.80
The prediction of under 2.5 goals aligns with the defensive focus of both teams. This suggests that any goals scored will be hard-fought and possibly from set pieces rather than open play.
Under 4.5 Cards: 70.70
Similar to the under 5.5 cards prediction, this further reinforces the expectation of a relatively controlled match in terms of disciplinary issues.
Away Team To Score In 2nd Half: 69.30
Fluminense could potentially find their scoring rhythm in the second half if Flamengo’s defense shows signs of vulnerability.
Last Goal 73+ Minutes: 60.30
A prediction of the last goal occurring in the 73rd minute or later suggests a match that could remain tight until the final stages, with either team capable of scoring a decisive goal deep into the game.
Home Team To Win: 59.00
While Flamengo is slightly favored to win, the narrow probability suggests that the match is expected to be closely contested and could go either way.
Over 0.5 Goals HT: 59.80
There is a good chance that at least one goal will be scored in the first half, which could set the tone for the rest of the match.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 57.20
Flamengo has a fair chance of scoring in the first half if they manage to break through Fluminense’s defense early on.
Sum of Goals 2 or 3: 57.60
The total number of goals in the match is likely to be either two or three, reflecting a balanced but low-scoring encounter.
Goal In Last 15 Minutes: 56.80
A goal in the last 15 minutes is a strong possibility, especially if the match is still level and either team is looking for a decisive goal.
First Goal 30+ Minutes: 52.80
The first goal could come after the 30-minute mark, indicating that both teams may take some time to break down each other’s defenses.
