Off to watch Flu: Key info on Fluminense v Juventude in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Fluminense and Juventude face off this Thursday (16) in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The duel is scheduled for the Maracanã at 9:30 p.m. Coming off a loss to Mirassol, the Tricolor will begin a sequence of four home matches against the club from Rio Grande do Sul.

How Fluminense arrive

Fluminense come into the clash after losing to Mirassol 2–1 in a rescheduled match from the 13th round of the Brasileirão. For this match, one of the team’s standout players in recent games, Lucho Acosta, is expected to be out due to load management. The midfielder did not take part in training this week and should not be among those selected, nor should Keno, for the same reason. Arriving tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, Kevin Serna also does not have a guaranteed presence in the match.

With that, Fluminense’s probable lineup is: Fábio, Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Freytes and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli and Lima; Canobbio, Riquelme (Soteldo) and Cano.

How Juventude arrive

Juventude come into the clash having suffered a 4–1 thrashing by Palmeiras in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Jaconeiro team faced pressure from fans during the week due to poor recent results, coming off six games without a win. For the match, Carpini will have Mandaca, who served a suspension, back in the starting lineup. On the other hand, he will not be able to count on Lucas Fernandes.

Juventude’s probable lineup: Jandrei; Igor Formiga (Reginaldo), Abner, Cipriano and Marcelo Hermes (Alan Ruschel); Jadson, Caíque, Mandaca and Nenê; Ênio and Taliari (Gilberto).
