Latest Fluminense vs Cruzeiro team information
Fluminense have almost their full squad, with the only exception being the absence of defensive midfielder Otavio due to injury. Coach Renato will continue to operate the team with the familiar 3-5-2 formation, placing great expectations on the main striker pair Jhon Arias and German Cano.
Meanwhile, the visiting team Cruzeiro traveled to the Maracanã without the services of midfielder Walace Silva – an important factor in the midfield. This will be a big loss in the context that they need to strengthen their ability to control the ball and compete from a distance against a Fluminense team that plays very well at home.
Latest expected lineup for Fluminense vs Cruzeiro
Fluminense (3-5-2):Fabio; Santos, Silva, Ignacio; Rene, Nonato, Bernal, Do Nascimento, Guga; Cano, Arias

Latest football commentary Fluminense vs Cruzeiro
The match between Fluminense and Cruzeiro is a contest between two teams in high form in the Brazilian National Championship. Although Cruzeiro is currently higher than Fluminense in the rankings with 2nd place and an 8-match unbeaten streak (including 6 wins), their inherent weakness is away matches. Specifically, the blue team has only won 3/10 recent away matches - a number that is not convincing enough when facing a "nemesis" opponent like Fluminense.
Fluminense is playing extremely stable at home. In the last 9 times hosting guests, they won 8 matches and drew 1. In addition, in terms of head-to-head, Fluminense has also completely dominated with 4 consecutive recent wins when hosting Cruzeiro at Maracanã, scoring a total of 7 goals and not conceding any. This achievement will certainly be a great mental support for them to continue aiming for another victory.
Cruzeiro, despite their improved and cohesive form under Larcamon, have been inconsistent away from home and their lack of a key player in midfield could see them lose ground against a sharper and more deep-lying Fluminense side. German Cano and Arias – the hosts’ two main attacking players – could make the difference with their intelligent movement and cool finishing.
If they make good use of home ground advantage and maintain their form as in recent times, Fluminense will likely win all 3 points and continue to chase the leading group.
