📋 At altitude, Flu name side to chase 1st Libertadores win | OneFootball

Fluminense takes the field this Thursday (30) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) when it faces Bolívar at the altitude of La Paz, Bolivia, in the third round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage.

After a disappointing campaign with one draw and one loss, the team from Laranjeiras sits in third place in Group C with just one point.

The Bolivians have exactly the same record.

Independiente Rivadavia (six points) and Deportivo La Guaira (two points) complete the group.

Only the top two teams in each group advance to the round of 16. The team that finishes third will play in the Copa Sudamericana round-of-16 playoffs.

Compared to the last match (a 2-1 win over Chapecoense in the Brasileirão), coach Luis Zubeldía opted to start Ignácio and Renê in place of Jemmes and Guilherme Arana, respectively, for Fluminense.

After the challenge in Bolivia, the Rio club will still face Independiente Rivadavia (05/06 - away), Bolívar (05/19 - home), and Deportivo La Guaira (05/27 - home) in an attempt to qualify.
