📰 Team News: Fluminense

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Fluminense manager Fernando Diniz to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Calegari (Knee surgery) won’t play.

It’s our opinion that Tricolor should use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Fabio, Samuel Xavier, Felipe Melo, Martinelli, Marcelo, André Trindade, Vinícius Lima, Jhon Arias, Ganso, Marquinhos and Germán Cano.

📋 Team News: Red Bull Bragantino

Due to a completely injury-free squad to choose from, the Red Bull Bragantino manager Pedro Caixinha does not have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash.

We’re of the thinking that Leão da Zona seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation using Cleiton, Nathan Mendes, Douglas Mendes, Luan Cândido, Juninho Capixaba, Jadsom, Raul, Henry Mosquera, Eric Ramires, Vitinho and Eduardo Sasha.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Red Bull Bragantino might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Fluminense outfit who we think will emerge victorious.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even contest with a 1-0 winning margin for Fluminense at the conclusion of the game.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
