It's Saturday (16) of BrasileirĂŁo for Fluminense and Fortaleza.
They face off from 4pm (BrasĂlia time) at MaracanĂŁ.
A game that will be a record for a historic player in football.
And puts two teams in different situations face to face.
FĂĄbio Deivson Lopes Maciel will make history when he steps onto the field.
It will be his 1,390th career game.
He will equal the mark of the so far only record holder: Peter Shilton, with a long career and 125 games for the English team.
No one has played more official matches than the former goalkeeper - now 75 years old.
The Carioca Tricolor reacted after a series of five consecutive losses in the season.
They scored four of the last six points contested in the BrasileirĂŁo, advanced in the Copa do Brasil and were the only ones to win away in the round of 16 of the Sul-Americana.
The current goal is to maintain the reaction in the Brazilian Championship.
With 24 points, they are in ninth place.
Meanwhile, Laion is struggling to recover after a series of bad results and a change in command.
They have only one win in their last 15 games. And they started in the round of 16 of the Libertadores with a goalless draw against Vélez Sarsfield at Castelão.
After trips to Salvador and Cali, the expectation was for an alternative team.
Which was confirmed.
Santi Moreno was regularized, but was left out of the squad.
Freytes was already certain to be out, as he is suspended.
Davi Schuindt gets another valuable chance among the 11.
Renato Paiva is dealing with many absences.
Moisés, Brenno, Pochettino and Matheus Pereira remain in the medical department.
Gustavo Mancha is suspended, but ZĂ© Wellison is back as an option.
The doubts were the presences of Kuscevic and Prior, who left the game against Vélez with injuries. They are, in fact, out.
The Portuguese coach is betting on a significantly modified lineup compared to the team that faced Vélez.
