Cruzeiro v Fluminense: likely line-up, referee and where to watch | OneFootball

Fluminense face Cruzeiro this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mineirão in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match marks Tricolor’s final commitment before the break in the schedule for the World Cup.Having qualified for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Fluminense are trying to finish the first half of the season on a high and reclaim third place in the Brasileirão – Athletico-PR beat Mirassol on Saturday and moved ahead of Tricolor in the table.

Luis Zubeldía will have problems naming the team. The coach is suspended after picking up his third yellow card and will not be on the touchline. Freytes is also serving an automatic suspension, while Canobbio has been released to join the Uruguay national team. Hércules and Acosta have been rested due to physical wear and tear, and Castillo did not travel with the squad.The main new feature should be the inclusion of Colombian defender Julián Millán in central defense. The defender gets a chance in the starting lineup after Freytes’ absence.Probable Fluminense lineup
