"Starting with the hosts, left frustrated last time out as they slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Mirassol, Fluminense are certainly seeking an immediate response here. Watching their five-match unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last week, Luis Zubeldia's men will be excited to make a return to home soil on Friday. Landing a thumping 3-0 victory against Atletico Mineiro, the Tricolor will be dreaming of a repeat performance at the Maracana."
"Winning their previous two domestic showdown in Rio de Janeiro by an aggregate score of 5-0, Fluminense will be excited by their continued success on home soil. Likewise, Friday's hosts have lost just one of their last nine consecutive matchups at the Maracana across all competitions - a run that stems all the way back to July 23rd. It should also be highlighted, Zubeldia's side have shipped just a sole Serie A strike in front of their own supporters since the middle of August."
Fluminense aim to return to winning ways at the Maracana after a 2-1 loss away to Mirassol ended a five-match unbeaten run. Luis Zubeldia's side previously thrashed Atletico Mineiro 3-0 and beat Botafogo 2-0 to finish September. The Tricolor have won their last two domestic fixtures in Rio 5-0 on aggregate and have lost only once in nine matches at the Maracana since July 23. Fluminense have conceded just one Serie A goal at home since mid-August. Juventude sit five points adrift of safety and are viewed as relegation contenders after a 4-1 defeat to Palmeiras and a 2-1 loss to Fortaleza.
