Fluminense vs Corinthians Prediction: Both sides are confident

Fluminense vs Corinthians: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 14, 2025

Fluminense and Corinthians will meet at the Maracanã just days after both secured their tickets to the Copa do Brasil semi-finals.

Fluminense: Form and statistics

Fluminense achieved two good results in the previous two games, boosting its confidence levels. In the last league match before the international break, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras drew 0-0 with Santos away. It is never easy to play at the Vila Belmiro, where the leader Flamengo lost, but Renato Gaúcho's team was solid defensively. Fluminense is in ninth place with 28 points. This week, the Cariocas hosted Bahia and won 2-0, qualifying for the Copa do Brasil semi-finals. Fluminense had lost the first leg 1-0 but managed to turn it around with goals from Canobbio and Thiago Silva, both in the second half. Flu played well and gave the Baianos no chance. It was one of Fluminense's best performances this season, which is a good sign for the future. The semi-final will be the stage for a Rio de Janeiro derby as the next opponent will be Vasco da Gama. Next week, Fluminense will face Lanús in the Copa Sudamericana quarter-finals, so the club's fans will have the opportunity to watch exciting games from their team in the coming weeks.

Corinthians: Form and statistics

Like Fluminense, Corinthians also drew in the last round of the Brasileirão and also won in the Copa do Brasil. In the league, the Timão hosted rival Palmeiras at the Neo Química Arena and drew 1-1. The visitors opened the scoring with a penalty from Vitor Roque in the 14th minute. Charles' foul on Flaco López was not clear, but VAR did not change the referee's decision. Corinthians reacted well and equalized in the 26th minute with an own goal by Piquerez. From a free kick, Garro crossed into the area, Gustavo Henrique headed towards the six-yard box, and the ball deflected off Palmeiras' left-back and into the net. In the second half, Palmeiras was clearly the better team on the pitch, and Corinthians was forced to defend deep and suffer to reach the end of the game with a draw. Dorival Júnior's team is in 12th place with 26 points. Earlier this week, Corinthians beat Athletico Paranaense 2-0 at home in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. Garro and Gui Negão scored the goals that secured the Paulistas' place in the semi-finals. Corinthians had already won the first game in Curitiba against the Série B team.

Yuri Alberto has recovered from his injury, but he won't be partnering up with Depay just yet, as the Dutchman has picked up an injury. Breno Bidon is suspended after receiving his third yellow card.

Fluminense vs Corinthians match prediction 14 September 2025

Fluminense and Corinthians played midweek in the Copa do Brasil and both secured qualification for the semi-finals, so confidence is high at the moment. There is not much difference between the two teams in terms of quality, as evidenced by the two points separating the Cariocas and Paulistas in the table. Fluminense will play in Argentina next week, and that game may influence the home team's attitude against Corinthians to some degree. I'm going to take a chance on a draw.
