Fluminense
Cruzeiro

  • Marcelo and Thiago Silva are in doubts with injuries.
  • Vitinho, Dinenno and Japa are injured.
  • Joao Marcelo can return from suspension.

Prediction

  • Fluminense are suffering at the moment. They have lost their last three league meetings and sit in the drop zone, one point from safety. They know a victory here would lift them out and into 16th place. At the weekend, they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Atletico GO on the road.
  • Cruzeiro are winless in their last three league matches, following two draws and a loss. At the weekend, they drew 1-1 at home with Vasco da Gama. They will be eager to return to winning ways in this duel. They currently sit in eighth place and will move into sixth place with a win here.
  • Earlier on in the season when the sides met, Cruzeiro ran out 2-0 winners in front of their own fans thanks to a brace from William Furtado.
