We have plenty of great games to look forward to in the Brazilian Serie A this weekend, including the meeting between Fluminense and Internacional.
The game will take place on the 9th of July at the Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho and the hosts are currently 6th in the table on 21 points while the visitors are 8th but on the same number of points.
Quarta-feira finalizada no CT Carlos Castilho! Domingo é dia de Maracanã!
Fluminense come into the match having lost 1-0 at São Paulo in the Brazilian Serie A last weekend. Fluminense were on course to take at least a point from the game but São Paulo scored in the 87th minute.
Fluminense then had a player sent off in the final moments of the game to compound their frustration.
The defeat at São Paulo was the first loss for Fluminense in 5 fixtures in all competitions.
There have been draws at Goiás and at home with Atlético Mineiro in Serie A plus a 2-1 home victory over Bahia in the league.
Fluminense were also held to a 1-1 draw at home by Sporting Cristal in the Copa Libertadores, which was enough to see them progress as group winners.
Trends show Fluminense are unbeaten in 18 of their last 19 home matches in Serie A. They are tough to beat when playing on home soil and Fluminense are undefeated in their last 9 home league games.
Fluminense have won 3 of their last 4 league fixtures on home soil.
Internacional travel to the Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho on the back of a 0-0 draw at home with Cruzeiro in Serie A.
It was a game Internacional were hoping to win against a team below them in the table, especially when Cruzeiro were reduced to ten men in the 69th minute. Internacional failed to take advantage of the extra player.
The draw with Cruzeiro means Internacional are undefeated in their last 7 fixtures in all competitions.
There have been wins at Coritiba and América Mineiro away in Serie A plus a home win in the league against Vasco da Gama.
Internacional beat Independiente Medellín at home in the Copa Libertadores but were held at Nacional in the same competition.
Trends show Internacional are unbeaten in all their last 6 matches in Serie A. They are undefeated in their last 3 league games on the road, winning 2 of those matches.
Team news: Fluminense are without midfielder Jhon Arias, who is suspended. David Braz, André, and Alexsander are all injured.
Internacional have just one injury concern and midfielder Pedro Henrique is unlikely to feature due to a thigh injury.
Both teams enter this game in good form despite the fact Fluminense lost their most recent fixture.
Neither team are easy to beat in Serie A and we expect this to be a close game, with under 2.5 goals scored. It is difficult to split the teams and this one could end level, with 1-1 a possible correct score.
