Fluminense and Internacional face off in decisive Brasileirão clash
Fluminense and Internacional meet this Wednesday at the Maracanã for the 33rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match carries significant implications for both clubs: Fluminense, currently in 5th place with 51 points, is fighting to maintain its position in the G-4 to secure direct qualification for the 2027 Copa Libertadores. Conversely, Internacional sits in 16th place with 35 points, fighting to stay out of the relegation zone.
Internacional enters the match with several key returns following suspensions, including Gabriel Mercado, Villagra, and Vitinho. However, the team will be without goalkeeper Matheus Cunha due to an elbow injury, leaving Kauan Jesus expected to start in goal.
Fluminense, under coach Marcão, is looking to bounce back from a recent loss to Chapecoense. The squad faces potential disciplinary risks, as several key players, including Hulk and Paulo Henrique Ganso, are one yellow card away from suspension. The team may also see the return of Thiago Silva and Jefferson Savarino to the starting lineup.
