São Paulo vs Fluminense Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Brasileiro Serie A 2025

The Tricolor secured an easy win when these teams last battled.

São Paulo are ready to lock horns with Fluminense in the match week 17 fixture of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A 2025. The interesting contest between these Brazilian clubs will take place at the MorumBIS.

São Paulo Football Club will be at home and will be keen on using it to their advantage. They are coming in after securing a win against Juventude in their last Campeonato Serie A fixture. It was a decent performance by Tricolor Paulista as they defended well and scored a late goal to take home three points.

Fluminense continue their poor run of form here. They fell prey to Palmeiras in their last league game. The Tricolor felt weak on attack and their defence was also not up to the mark.

They will have to step up here as their last three league games have not ended in their favour. With their current form, they will soon be out of the top 10 in the Brazilian Serie A points table.

Players to Watch

Luciano Neves (São Paulo)

In 11 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A appearances this season, Luciano Neves has scored four goals and has a couple of assists to his name as well. He is coming in after scoring a match-winning goal for São Paulo FC in their last league game. He is yet again going to play an important role in the final third.

Kevin Serna (Fluminense)

Kevin Serna has been one of the most important players in the attacking front for Fluminense. Even though he has not scored many goals this season, the 27-year-old from Colombia is a big danger for the opponent’s defence while attacking from the right. In 12 league games this season, he has scored three goals and is also the top goal scorer for the Tricolor in the Brazilian Serie A 2025.
