Fluminense v RB Bragantino: likely line-up, referee and where to watch | OneFootball

Fluminense returns to official action this Friday when it hosts Red Bull Bragantino at 8 p.m. at the Maracanã, in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match marks Tricolor’s return after more than a month without official games due to the break for the World Cup.

In third place with 31 points, Fluminense is trying to close the gap on league leader Palmeiras, which has 41. During the mid-season break, the team beat Nova Iguaçu (6-1) and Bahia (2-0) in friendlies and added reinforcements for the second half of the season: Thiago Silva and Hulk. The center back, however, is still unable to make his debut due to bureaucratic issues.

The main new feature could be Hulk himself, who is competing with John Kennedy for a spot leading the attack. In defense, Freytes and Millán are battling for a place alongside Jemmes.

Where to watch: sportv and Premiere.

Probable Fluminense lineup: Fábio; Guga, Jemmes, Freytes (Millán) and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli and Lucho Acosta; Savarino, Serna and Hulk (John Kennedy).

Refereeing: Davi de Oliveira Lacerda (ES), assisted by Douglas Pagung (ES) and Alex Sandro Quadros Thome (RR). The VAR will be Emerson de Almeida Ferreira (MG).
