Keeping an eye on them: Operário head into clash on winless run | OneFootball

Fluminense make their debut in the 2026 Copa do Brasil this Thursday (23) against Operário, away from home. For the match, the team from Paraná come in on a poor run in Série B. In their last game, the Ponta Grossa side were beaten 2-1 by Vila Nova, extending their winless streak to five matches, with four draws and one loss. Playing at home, Operário are unbeaten this season, with five wins and six draws.

For this match, the only doubt for coach Luizinho Lopes is forward Pablo. The player is recovering from a thigh strain, which kept him out of the last game against Vila Nova. As a result, Caio Dantas could keep his place in the starting lineup. In midfield, Índio returns to the team after serving a suspension in Série B and is the new addition.
