Athletico-PR at full strength for Copa do Brasil v Fluminense | OneFootball

Athletico Paranaense will be Fluminense’s opponent this Sunday at 4 p.m. at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. The Furacão comes into the match with the full squad available. The team, led by Odair Hellmann, managed to clear out the medical department during the break without official matches. The last players recovering — midfielder Alejandro García and forwards Renan Peixoto and Isaac — are now once again available to the coaching staff. Athletico hasn’t played a match in 18 days. Their last fixture was a 1-1 draw with Red Bull Bragantino, away, in the Brasileirão. During this period, the team played only one training match at Arena da Baixada, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Santa Catarina Clube. In the standings, Furacão sits in eighth place, with seven points. For the clash against Fluminense, Odair Hellmann’s main doubt is the tactical formation: to keep the three-center-back system or return to the 4-2-3-1. If he opts for a four-man defensive line, forward Julimar could earn a spot among the starters.

Probable lineup: Santos; Terán, Aguirre (Julimar) and Arthur Dias; Benavídez, Luiz Gustavo, Portilla, Zapelli and Esquivel, Mendoza and Viveros.
