Fluminense's Rio spell a boost before Libertadores decider | OneFootball

No travel wear and tear, the tricolor squad faces a Maracanã marathon before deciding a spot in the Libertadores final against Palmeiras

Fluminense will have an important logistical advantage when competitions resume after the FIFA international break. The tricolor team will play its next four matches in a row in Rio de Janeiro and will not need to travel until its most important commitment of the year so far: the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal against Palmeiras, scheduled for October 21 in São Paulo.

The marathon on home soil begins on Thursday, October 8, when Tricolor faces Coritiba at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. Next, the team plays the derby against Flamengo, with their rival as the home side, also at the Maracanã. On the following Wednesday (14), Fluminense hosts Palmeiras in the first semifinal clash of the continental tournament, and closes the home stretch on Sunday (18) against Santos, again in the Brasileirão.

Only after this run of matches at the Maracanã will the squad led by coach Marcão travel to the capital of São Paulo, where it will decide its place in the Libertadores final against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque.

Next match

Fluminense returns to the field next Thursday (08), at 9:30 p.m., to face Coritiba at the Maracanã in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship.
