The favourites have a 60% likelihood of success according to the bookies, with Fluminense chalked up at -147 to land a win in this Série A clash. The market suggests that Fortaleza are least likely to win at +400.

Fluminense -0.75 at -116 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Fortaleza, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.
