Championship

Game at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm, will be broadcast live by Rádio Nacional

Seventh-placed in the Brazilian Championship, Fluminense receives Bahia (14th) this Saturday night (24th), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 12th round of the competition. After two consecutive draws, Tricolor from Rio has 18 points and wants to win again to return to the top of the table.

On the opposing side, Esquadrão de Aço, undefeated for three games, arrives on the field with morale after having beaten Palmeiras (1-0), vice-leader of the Brasileirão, last Wednesday (21).

The duel in Rio de Janeiro, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), will be broadcast live on Rádio Nacional, with narration by André Marques, comments by Mario Silva, reporting by Rodrigo Ricardo and Rodrigo Campos.

In recent weeks, Fluminense has dropped a lot of production. The team coached by Fernando Diniz has been struggling to present quality football, often being involved by the opponent.

In the last nine games played, Flu only won one. Last Wednesday (21) they drew 1-1 with Atlético-MG, in a very close match, in which the will of the players prevailed over technique.

For the match against Bahia, Tricolor must have left-back Marcelo back in the starting lineup. Another likely return will be midfielder Jhon Arias. Called up for two friendlies for the Colombian national team, Arias was short of Flu in the clash against Galo. Who also didn’t play on Wednesday (21), spared for feeling his right knee, and should return to the team today is defensive midfielder Felipe Melo.

Right embezzlement tonight will be in the tricolor midfield. André will be suspended after receiving the third yellow card in the last round. Fluminense should start playing like Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Nino, Felipe Melo and Marcelo; Martinelli, Lima, Ganso and Arias; Keno and Cano.

In the middle of the table, with 12 points, Bahia is led by Portuguese coach Renato Paiva, who will make his first match at Maracanã this Saturday (24).

Paiva will have to work around important absences, such as that of goalkeeper Marcos Felipe, loaned to Esquadro by rival Fluminense, who will not be able to play for contractual reasons. In the attack sector, Everaldo and Ademir took the third yellow and will not play tonight either.

Therefore, the Steel Tricolor must go to the field with: Mateus Claus; Cicinho, Kanu, Vitor Hugo and Chávez; Rezende, Acevedo, Thaciano and Cauly; Kayky and Mingotti.
