*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Fluminense have lost four fixtures on the bounce and are rooted to the foot of the Serie A table, and having started the new campaign so poorly, it’s a bit of a surprise to see them installed as 4/6 favourites to win this week.
Vitoria lost at RB Bragantino last time out, though they seemed to have turned a corner before that, collecting eight points from a possible 12 to catapult themselves up the standings. They have just an 18.2% chance of returning to winning ways on Thursday according to the latest probability figures, though they do look undercooked in the match result markets.

Player to watch – Willian Oliveira
Willian Oliveira was on the periphery of the action in Vitoria’s 2-1 loss to RB Bragantino last time out, though he hit an impressive purple patch before that, netting four times in three fixtures for his club.
Oliveira making a positive impact
31-year-old Oliveira is a new face at Vitoria having joined the club from Goias in January and his haul of five goals in Serie A has been built up over just ten appearances for his new employers. The versatile forward has been doing damage from deep of late and he could provide a significant threat again on Thursday.
