Fluminense vs Ulsan prediction: Brazilians to edge tight game
Key stats
- Our Fluminense vs Ulsan betting tips take into account that Renato Gaucho’s side have kept clean sheets in each of their last three matches.
- 13 of the last 20 Ulsan games have produced under 2.5 goals.
- It’s just one win in five games for Ulsan.
Correct score prediction: Fluminense 1-0 Ulsan
Fluminense looked quite strong in their opening fixture, and they ought to have the better of this game, although they may not necessarily run riot.
They don’t have many natural goalscorers, with only one of their players netting more than once in the Brazilian Serie A so far this term after 11 games, so it’s perhaps more likely that they only scrape the win here.

Fluminense preview: Gaucho to opt for continuity
Venezuelan winger Yeferson Soteldo is still a notable injury absentee for Gaucho and we’re unlikely to see too many changes from the opening game, with an unchanged lineup possible.

Player to watch – Jhon Arias
Colombian winger Jhon Arias looks to be the player most likely to unlock the Ulsan defence in this game. He has registered four assists in 11 Brasileirao appearances so far this term.
Arias shines in Club World Cup opener
The 27-year-old was impressive against Dortmund, having three attempts in the game, whilst also completing 93.6% of his passes. He’s likely to be one of the main attacking threats in this fixture too.
