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

Fluminense face Bahia this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. at the Maracanã, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Separated by just a few points in the table, the teams meet in a direct clash for a place in the competition’s top four.

Flu are coming off a 1-1 draw with Grêmio in Porto Alegre and begin an important run of fixtures in Rio de Janeiro. There will be six home matches across the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil and Conmebol Libertadores, a period seen as decisive for the team’s ambitions this season.

The main news for the match should be the return of Savarino. The Venezuelan forward missed the last round because of discomfort in the back of his left thigh, but he trained normally and has a good chance of returning to the starting lineup.

Probable Fluminense lineup: Fábio; Guga, Thiago Silva, Freytes and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli and Lucho Acosta; Savarino, Canobbio and Hulk.

Where to watch

The match will be broadcast on TV Globo and Premiere.
