Fluminense hosts Botafogo this Thursday, for the third round of the Brasileirão, at Maracanã. In the match, Zubeldía defends his unbeaten record against coach Martin Anselmi.
The managers have faced each other five times, four of which were in the Ecuadorian Championship, when Zubeldía led LDU Quito and Anselmi was in charge of Independiente del Valle.
In their head-to-head record, the Fluminense coach has never lost to Anselmi, with four wins—including the Ecuadorian title in 2023—and one goalless draw. In their last meeting, which took place at the beginning of February in the Carioca, Flu won the classic against Botafogo 1-0 at Nilton Santos.
