In focus: how Operário shape up to face Fluminense | OneFootball

Fluminense host Operário this Tuesday (12) in the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. The team from Ponta Grossa heads into the clash after two straight defeats, the most recent against CRB in Série B, which knocked the team out of the competition’s top six. The other negative result came in the Copa Sul-Sudeste, against Chapecoense.

Coach Luizinho Lopes is expected to keep the core of the team that has been playing in Série B. The main doubt is over a spot in midfield, with Matheus Trindade and Índio competing for it. Up front, the question is whether Pablo or Caio Dantas will lead the line.

Probable Operário lineup: Vagner; Doka, Cuenú, Klaus and Moraes; Índio (Matheus Trindade), Vinicius Diniz and Boschilia; Berto, Pablo (Caio Dantas) and Aylon.
