Fourth placed, with 38 points, the Rio club is looking for another positive result in front of its fans to get closer to the leaders. In the last round, they won a great 3-2 victory over leader Palmeiras and, in their most recent match, they eliminated Independiente Rivadavia on penalties, after a 1-1 draw in regular time, to guarantee qualification to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
Interim coach Marcão valued the good moment, highlighting the two important results under his command, which occurred after the departure of Luis Zubeldía. "It's a unique moment. When you work at Fluminense, at a big club, you have to wait for this, one time or another, to happen, and the response needs to be up to par. I focused on my work. We faced two big opponents in a row. We didn't have time to think about much. We worked, worked and were rewarded with two great matches."
Right-back Samuel Xavier returns in place of Guga, who is suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Midfielder Lucho Acosta, for the same reason, is also out of the match. Paulo Henrique Ganso should appear in the half.
With the exception of the change at right-back, the tricolor team must enter the field with the same lineup used in the Libertadores. Midfielder Savarino is recovering from pain in his right calf and his presence is not guaranteed, as is striker Riquelme Felipe, who is doubtful due to a pubic problem.
Defender Igor Rabello and attackers Matheus Reis and John Kennedy are in the medical department and are absent.
Remo, on the other hand, is going through a delicate moment and has gone five games without winning. After two consecutive draws, the last 1-1 with Internacional, in Beira-Rio, they occupy 18th place, with 23 points, one less than Inter themselves, the first team outside the relegation zone. The team from Pará is looking for a reaction to leave the Z-4.
Striker Alef Manga has a chance to start playing. After starting Remo's campaign in the Brasileirão as a starter, he lost space and is looking for a new opportunity to convince coach Léo Condé. Manga must replace Yago Pikachu, who did not perform well in the last round.
Missing against Internacional due to discomfort in his thigh, left-back Mayk could be new to the list of related players. If he is available to the coaching staff, he will compete for the starting spot with Marlon, an athlete who made his debut in the duel held on the riverfront.
Léo Condé analyzed Remo's fight against relegation to Series B. The commander understands that the team started the tournament with a performance below expectations, but valued the fight to remain in the elite of national football.
"Unfortunately, we started the Brasileirão very badly. It's a recovery campaign against big teams, with a lot of investment. I think we need to maintain the performance we've been having in the last ten rounds. That's what we hope for," said Condé.
