📋 Fluminense line-up to face Maricá, chasing Copa do Brasil glory | OneFootball

It's Sunday (8) of the Carioca Championship for Fluminense. 

And a match that decides the Taça Guanabara title. 

Later today, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), the Tricolor faces Maricá at Maracanã.

SporTV, Premiere, and GE TV will broadcast.

Fluminense 🇭🇺

The Tricolor only needs a draw to mathematically secure the best campaign in the Taça Guanabara, winning the title.

They have 12 points, with the leadership of Group A already confirmed. 

They might even take the field with the trophy already secured if Botafogo (nine points in Group B) does not defeat Vasco earlier (6 PM).

This duel will determine Flu's opponent in the quarterfinals. Vasco is currently fourth in the Tricolor's group, with eight points.

They will reach 11 if they triumph at São Januário, taking Bangu's position (10). They could even surpass the runner-up Volta Redonda (11) on goal difference. 

Zubeldía did what was expected of him: he preserved starters thinking about the rest of the season. 

Martinelli plays his 300th game for the Tricolor. Hércules and Soteldo are options for the first time this season. 

Maricá 🔵🔴⚪

The Metropolitan Tsunami is already mathematically guaranteed in the relegation playoff.

They have the worst campaign among the 12 teams, with three points in five games.

Coach Marcus Alexandre has not lost any players.

Midfielder Wellington, who played for Fluminense between 2021 and 2022, is one of the team's key players.

The lineup has not been announced.
