Cruzeiro vs Fluminense Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2025

Cruzeiro will face Fluminense at the Governador Magalhaes Pinto on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have enjoyed a superb campaign and remain key contenders in the title race late in the season as they sit third in the table, five points behind league leaders Palmeiras.

They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Gremio last time out, with Brazil international Fabricio Bruno heading home the sole goal of the game just before the interval. Cruzeiro will be looking to continue their good form this weekend and will confirm a return to the CONMEBOL Libertadores with wins in their next few games.

Fluminense, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of securing a top-six finish for the first time since 2022. They beat in-form Mirassol 1-0 on Thursday, with Kevin Serma's deflected effort in the 31st minute handing Luis Zubeldia's men maximum points in front of their home fans.

The visitors sit seventh in the table with 50 points and will be looking to add to that tally when they head to Belo Horizonte this weekend.
