Team News

Fluminense
Fortaleza
  • Orinho, Muriel and Mascarenhas remain injured and will not feature on Sunday, while Ganso is a doubt.
  • Digão, Danielzinho and Ganso are expected to return to the starting XI after missing out against Avaí.
  • Marcos Felipe and Agenor are in contention to start in goal.
  • Rogério Ceni will have a full squad to pick from on Sunday.
  • Felipe should feature from the outset in midfield.
  • Bruno Melo will be full of confidence after a wonderful performance against Giás.

Prediction

  • Fluminense were denied a win in stoppage time last weekend but they've guaranteed their top-flight status for next season following Cruzeiro's defeat against Vasco. Marcão's men have had decent performances (unbeaten in the last four matches) and are expected to do well on Wednesday.
  • After beating Santos at home, Fortaleza got another win against Goiás and are now chasing a Libertadores spot. They will hope for Corinthians and Internacional to slip up in order to increase their chances.
  • The hosts are usually tough to beat at home but Fortaleza are in great form. A draw is on the cards.
