At Fluminense, Zubeldía looks to keep unbeaten run against Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Fluminense hosts Cruzeiro this Sunday and is counting on coach Luís Zubeldía’s record against the team from Minas Gerais as a trump card for a positive result. Throughout his entire coaching career, the Argentine has never been defeated by Raposa and is looking to maintain his unbeaten streak in this afternoon’s match.

Zubeldía faced Cruzeiro twice in 2024, when he was still in charge of São Paulo. Both matches were in the Campeonato Brasileiro and ended in victories for the Argentine coach.

The first match was played at Morumbis and ended 2-0 for Tricolor. The second, at Mineirão, was won by São Paulo 1-0.

This year, while the coach was still under contract with the São Paulo team, São Paulo even faced Cruzeiro and drew 1-1, but in that match, Zubeldía was suspended and Maximiliano Cuberas led the team.

Standings

In seventh place with 50 points, Fluminense dreams of a victory over Cruzeiro and a defeat for Botafogo against Vitória, also this Sunday. That way, Tricolor das Laranjeiras would enter the G5, in fifth place, overtaking Glorioso and Bahia, who drew with Internacional last Saturday.
