Fluminense faces offensive slump and coaching change

Fluminense is experiencing a significant offensive decline following the World Cup break. The team has struggled to find the net, scoring only four goals in seven matches, which results in an average of 0.51 goals per game. This performance places them among the lowest-scoring teams in the Série A.

Statistical data shows a drop in shooting accuracy, with the average shots on target falling to 4.43 per game during a recent seven-match winless streak. While the club maintains high ball possession rates—averaging 59% in the national championship and 65.9% internationally—the play has lacked clinical finishing.

The squad's struggles are compounded by personnel issues. Leading scorer John Kennedy is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Among the remaining attackers, Hulk is the only forward to have scored since the break, while Savarino has not scored since late May. Following the extended winless run, manager Luis Zubeldía has been dismissed, and the club is currently searching for a replacement.
