Fluminense faces Flamengo this Wednesday (19th) at 9:30 PM at Maracanã, for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will have exclusive broadcast on Premiere, Globo's pay-per-view service.

With a 100% home record in the Zubeldía Era, Flu aims to maintain this streak and defeat their great rival to get closer to their main goal: the Libertadores. Currently, the Tricolor holds the last spot in the G-7, with 51 points, and can reach the sixth position if Bahia stumbles.
