Fluminense’s current form has set off alarm bells. The 2-0 defeat to Internacional this Sunday at Beira-Rio, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, extended the team’s poor run, with just two wins in their last nine matches of the season.

In that stretch, the Tricolor has recorded two wins, three draws, and four defeats. The victories came against Santos and Chapecoense. The setbacks were against Flamengo, Independiente Rivadavia, Bolívar, and Internacional. The team also drew with Coritiba, Deportivo La Guaira, and Operário-PR.

The situation is increasing the pressure on coach Luis Zubeldía, who is going through his most difficult spell since taking charge of the club in September 2025. After the defeat at Beira-Rio, the manager once again became the target of criticism from fans on social media.

Now, Fluminense faces a decisive match for the rest of the season. Next Wednesday at 9:30 p.m., the Tricolor takes on Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza in the Copa Libertadores. Bottom of Group C, the Rio club goes into the match under pressure and could see its situation in the continental competition become even more complicated in the event of another slip-up.
