Fluminense and Remo open the 24th round of Brazil’s Serie A on August 22, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 local time at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho in Rio de Janeiro. The teams enter the fixture from opposite ends of the standings: Fluminense are fourth, while Remo occupy 18th place. The hosts are trying to build momentum after ending a difficult winless sequence, whereas the visitors need points in their battle to move away from the relegation places. Fluminense also hold the advantage from the season’s first meeting, having recorded a 2-0 away victory over Remo on March 12.

Fluminense Recent Form and Key Statistics

Fluminense have collected 10 wins, eight draws and five defeats in the current Serie A campaign. Their league matches have produced averages of 1.5 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, figures that underline a positive overall record despite an inconsistent recent spell.

The home side have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five matches across the available form data. During that sequence, they averaged 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. Their most recent listed result was a 1-1 draw against Independiente Rivadavia on August 18. The two teams also drew the other leg of their Copa Libertadores tie, before Fluminense secured a place in the quarter-finals on penalties.

That continental progress followed an important 3-2 Serie A victory over Palmeiras, with the winning goal arriving in stoppage time. It was a significant result after the 1-1 draw with Botafogo had extended Fluminense’s previous winless run to seven games and led to the departure of Luis Zubeldía. Under interim coach Marcão, the team recorded two draws and one win across the three matches described in the available information.

Kevin Serna approaches this game after scoring in Fluminense’s last two matches. However, the hosts also have several absentees. Guga and Lucho Acosta received their third yellow cards in the previous league round, while Igor Rabello, Savarino, John Kennedy and Riquelme Felipe are listed as being in the club’s medical department.

• Serie A record: 10 wins, eight draws and five defeats.
• Last five matches: one win, three draws and one defeat.
• Average in Serie A: 1.5 goals scored and 1.2 conceded.
• Three of their last 10 matches finished without a goal, as did two of their last 10 home games.

Remo Recent Form and Key Statistics

Remo travel to this fixture with five victories, eight draws and 10 defeats in Serie A. They average 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per league match. Their recent form remains difficult, with no wins, three draws and two losses across the last five games, alongside averages of 0.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded.

The visitors have nevertheless taken points from their last two league fixtures. They drew 2-2 at home against Atlético-MG before securing a 1-1 away draw with Internacional on August 17. Those results followed their Copa do Brasil elimination against Santos, decided by a 1-0 aggregate score. Overall, Remo have suffered only one defeat in the four matches referenced in their latest sequence, although they are still looking for a first win in five.

The first-half statistics highlight a recurring problem for the away side. Remo have not been ahead at half-time in any of their last 16 away matches, in 24 of their last 25 games overall, and in 20 of their last 21 Serie A fixtures. They were also trailing at the interval in six of their last 10 away league games. In addition, two of Remo’s previous 10 away matches ended without any goals.

Jajá is Remo’s leading Serie A scorer with six goals, while Alef Manga, who entered during the second half against Internacional, is identified as the team’s second-highest scorer. The visitors list Edson Fernando, João Lucas and Mayk among the players in the medical department.

• Serie A record: five wins, eight draws and 10 defeats.
• Last five matches: no wins, three draws and two defeats.
• Average in Serie A: 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded.
• No half-time lead in their last 16 away matches.

Fluminense vs Remo Match Analysis

The statistical outlook gives Fluminense a clear advantage. The hosts have a 64% win probability, compared with 22% for a draw and 14% for a Remo victory. The match odds also reflect that assessment, with Fluminense priced at 1.44, the draw at 4.33 and Remo at 8.00.

The difference between the sides is visible in both their league records and current attacking output. Fluminense have five more league victories and average 1.5 goals per match, while Remo have lost 10 times and concede an average of 1.6. The previous head-to-head meeting provides another relevant reference point: Fluminense won 2-0, leaving the one-match series with an average of two goals scored and none conceded.

There are still reasons for the hosts to approach the contest carefully. They have only one victory in their last five matches and conceded an average of 1.4 during that run. Remo, meanwhile, earned consecutive draws against Atlético-MG and Internacional. Even so, the visitors’ lack of recent wins and repeated failure to lead at half-time strengthen the case for Fluminense, particularly with the match being played at home.

The goal markets are much closer. Both Teams To Score is rated at 47% for Yes and 53% for No, while Under 2.5 goals holds a narrow 51% probability against 49% for Over 2.5. Those figures point to uncertainty around the final goal total, making the result market more strongly supported by the supplied data than either goal option.
