Palmeiras and Fluminense meet under pressure seeking response in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Fluminense and Palmeiras meet on Saturday 15 at 16:30 at the Maracanã in round 23 of the Campeonato Brasileiro, both sides under pressure to deliver a response.

According to Nosso Palestra, the clubs come into this fixture in contrasting moments of the season, yet each needs a convincing display on the pitch.

Fluminense are winless in eight and have just parted company with head coach Zubeldia. With the Tricolor still competing on key fronts, stability and a swift upturn are required.

Palmeiras remain alive in the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores, and their league campaign has been steady. Even so, recent performances have prompted growing scrutiny from supporters.

On Wednesday, Palmeiras drew 1-1 with Cerro Porteño at Allianz Parque in the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16. That result raises the stakes for the return on Wednesday 19 in Paraguay.
