Team News

Fluminense
Sport Recife
  • Junior Sornoza and Ibañez are suspended this weekend.
  • The former was sent off against Vasco and the latter has picked up three yellow cards.
  • Marcelo Oliveira is also likely to rest other players with the Copa Sul-Americana in mind.
  • Left-back Sander has been ruled out with an ankle problem.
  • Raul Prata is likely to play there despite being naturally right-footed.
  • Marlone is also out with a minor injury.

Prediction

  • With a decent cushion above the relegation zone, Fluminense can probably afford to keep their focus on the Copa Sul-Americana for now.
  • They face an uphill challenge to overturn a two-goal disadvantage against Atlético-PR, but the second leg is in Rio and stranger things have happened.
  • Sport won their third game on the spin on Monday night, beating fellow relegation battlers Ceará, and have given themselves a real chance of escaping the drop.
