In the match that opens the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, Fluminense visits Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista (SP). With 27 points won, in eighth place, Tricolor wants to enter the G-6, the qualifying zone for the Copa Libertadores.
The match between Red Bull Bragantino and Fluminense will have exclusive transmission from Premiere (Pay-per-view).
Fluminense comes boosted by the victories of 2-1 over Fortaleza, in the last round, and 2-0 over América de Cali, which guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. With the same score as Tricolor, Massa Bruta has not won in nine games and comes from a 1-0 defeat to Ceará.
Fighting in three competitions, Fluminense has in the Cups the great chance of title. But coach Renato Gaúcho rules out leaving the Brazilian Championship aside.
“We will not prioritize the Cups. At the moment, the focus is on this game against Bragantino. If we reach the semifinals in the Cups, then we will rethink,” he said.
On the side of Red Bull Bragantino, coach Fernando Seabra talks about recovering the identity.
“We have to recover our identity, of a very concentrated team that can make the two times at a great level. I know that the injury history compromises, but we are working for progress,” he said.
The teams have faced each other 21 times in history. Fluminense leads the retrospective, with nine victories against six of Red Bull Bragantino, in addition to six draws.
Renato Gaúcho, despite not prioritizing the Cups, may rotate the squad, as on Thursday he already has Bahia for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The certain absence is midfielder Martinelli, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards.
For this duel, Bragantino will not be able to count on midfielder Gabriel and striker Lucas Barbosa, both suspended. Recovered from an injury in the left thigh, Henry Mosquera wins the position in the attack. Fabinho assumes Gabriel's place.
