As visitors in the Copa Libertadores da América, Fluminense has a good record in recent matches. Of the seven away games played in Rio, the team has only lost once. This figure is a source of encouragement for the team for this Wednesday’s match (25), against Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte.
Fluminense’s only away defeat came in this year’s edition, against Grêmio. A 2-1 defeat was not enough to knock Tricolor out of the Libertadores as Flu also won 2-1 and won on penalties.
In other matches this year, Fluminense beat Colo-Colo 1-0 and drew with Alianza Lima (1-1) and Cerro Porteño (0-0). Last year, Tricolor beat Olimpia (3-1) and Internacional (2-1), drawing 1-1 with Argentinos Juniors.
In this Wednesday’s match, Fluminense relies on a draw to qualify for the Libertadores semifinals. In the quarterfinals, on five occasions, Flu won in 2008 and 2023, losing three times, in 2012, 2013 and 2021. The ball rolls to Atlético-MG x Fluminense at 7 p.m., in Belo Horizonte, with broadcast from Super Tupi Radio.
