Fluminense Team News

In the previous round of the Brazilian Serie A, Fluminense defeated Internacional at home with a score of 2-0. They took the lead in the 25th minute when Samuel Xavier assisted German Cano, who placed the ball into the net. Fifteen minutes later, the home team doubled their lead through Martinelli, with Marcelo providing the assist. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match.

Fluminense currently occupies the fourth position in the table with 24 points, two points behind their upcoming opponent, Flamengo. They finished the group stage of the Copa Libertadores in first place, and their opponent in the round of 16 will be Argentinos Juniors. In their last five matches in all competitions, they have recorded two wins, two draws, and one loss.

Fluminense will have to make at least one change in their winning team this weekend as Keno is suspended. Coach Fernando Diniz has several new reinforcements available, including Uruguayan midfielder Leo Fernandez. Center-back Marlon recently returned to the club from Shakhtar Donetsk on loan to Monza but is currently serving a suspension he received in the Italian Serie A. Another newcomer, Diogo Barbosa, is unavailable, so former Real Madrid player Marcelo will continue in the left-back position. Two experienced stars, Paulo Henrique Ganso, and Felipe Melo, have successfully recovered from their injuries and have returned to training.

Flamengo Team News

In the previous league match, Flamengo drew Palmeiras away with a score of 1-1. The hosts took the lead in the 24th minute, and the equalizer came in the 81st minute when Everton Ribeiro assisted Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who placed the ball into the net. They couldn’t completely turn the result in their favor by the end of the match.

Flamengo currently occupies the second position in the table with 26 points, ten points behind the leader, Botafogo. In the cup, they eliminated Athletico in the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 4-1. Their next opponent will be Gremio. In the Copa Libertadores, they finished the group stage as runners-up, and their opponent in the round of 16 will be Olimpia Asuncion. In their last five matches in all competitions, they have recorded four wins and one draw.

Flamengo has also been active in the transfer market, and after the contract termination with Arturo Vidal, new players Luiz Araujo, Allan, and Agustin Rossi are ready to be included in the squad for Sunday’s match. Gerson was sent off during injury time in the previous cup victory but is expected to continue playing at the Maracana as the former Marseille midfielder. Erick Pulgar is returning after serving a one-match suspension. Meanwhile, Gabriel Barbosa returned to the team on Wednesday after recovering from an ankle problem and is likely to start again in the attacking lineup for Flamengo.
