Fluminense reshuffle for Corinthians clash, see line-up | OneFootball

First of all, Fluminense will have a different lineup against Corinthians this Sunday, the 20th, at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship Serie A.

After qualifying for the Libertadores semifinals, coach Marcão will make at least four changes to the starting lineup. Guga felt some discomfort during the match against Platense and stayed on the field despite the issue.

As a precaution, the player will be rested and will not travel to São Paulo. Samuel Xavier will take his place. The most significant changes are in midfield. Hércules and Ganso leave the starting lineup, while Gustavo Nonato and Lucho Acosta come in.

The defensive midfielder returns after serving a suspension in the Copa Libertadores, and the Argentine appears as an option chosen by Marcão because of the qualities he offers. The change also alters the dynamic of the sector.

Kevin Serna gets his chance on the wing

Another new feature is in attack. Kevin Serna will start on the left side, taking Yeferson Soteldo’s place. The choice is also related to the player’s profile, mainly because of his ability to track back and his speed in attacking the spaces left on the field.

What is Fluminense’s lineup for the match against Corinthians?

Coach Marcão is expected to field Fluminense with: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Julián Millán and Renê; Matheus Martinelli, Gustavo Nonato and Lucho Acosta; Agustíin Canobbio, Kevin Serna and Hulk.

Fluminense aims to keep momentum in the Brasileirão

Tricolor sit in fifth place in the Brazilian Championship with 45 points. A win at Neo Química Arena would keep the team close to the fight for the top spots and in contention for a place in the top four.

After the match against Corinthians, Fluminense will have an 18-day break without games. Their next fixture is scheduled against Coritiba, a period that will allow the coaching staff more time to work before the competition resumes.
