Fluminense hold penultimate training session ahead of Juventude clash | OneFootball

This Tuesday, at the Carlos Castilho Training Center, Fluminense advanced in their preparation to face Juventude in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball will roll next Thursday, at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Under the command of Zubeldía and his technical team, the tricolor squad participated in ball activities, while the goalkeepers conducted defense training.

Last Wednesday, Fluminense visited Mirassol in the interior of São Paulo and lost 2-1. With the setback, they remained with 38 points, in seventh place on the table, and missed the chance to get closer to Bahia, which has 43 points and opens the Libertadores qualification zone.

According to the UFMG Mathematics Department, Flu has a 30.5% chance of securing a spot in the Libertadores. For this, the Laranjeiras Club needs to secure 27 out of the 36 points still available in the Brasileirão, as the historical average score to enter the G-4 is 65 points. Thus, nine victories in 12 games are necessary.

Under Luis Zubeldía's management, the team performs best when playing at home: eight victories in 13 matches, with a 64% success rate. However, away from home, the Tricolor has won only three times.

Therefore, the sequence of four consecutive home games will be crucial to pursue the coveted Libertadores spot. Fluminense's next commitments in the Brasileirão will all be at Maracanã, against Juventude, Vasco, Internacional, and Ceará, respectively.
