Team News

Fluminense
Ceara
  • Central midfielder Jádson is out after being sent off against Palmeiras.
  • Dodi looks the most likely replacement this weekend.
  • There may also be starts for Everaldo and Marcos Júnior.
  • Lisca has no fresh injury concerns ahead of this one, and no suspensions.
  • But he may be tempted to recall Tiago Alves in defence.
  • Felipe Jonathan and Pedro Ken are other options if fresh legs are needed elsewhere.

Prediction

  • Fluminense boss Marcelo Oliveira has called this game a 'final', and while that might be a bit dramatic, you can understand why he's keen to get a victory.
  • With Copa Sul-Americana progress sidetracking them, Flu have slumped to within four points of the drop zone, so could do with a bit more breathing room.
  • Ceará's own romp to safety has slowed down in the last few games, but Lisca has promised they'll keep fighting for every available point.
