Caio Paulista, Manoel and David Braz miss out due to suspensions. Moraes misses out, whilst Oscar Ruiz is a doubt with a muscle issue.
After a poor performance in the cup, Fluminense lifted the mood in camp with a great 2-1 victory over rivals Flamengo. This was their second victory on the bounce in the league. Fluminense currently sit third and will be hoping to replicate their performance from their last outing. Juventude are still searching for their first win in eight matches. Last time out, they drew 1-1 at home to Fortaleza. Juve sit rock bottom of the league, nine points adrift of safety. It would take a miracle for them to remain in the division. In the meeting earlier on in the season, Juve stunned Flu in a 1-0 win on a wet day in Rio Grande do sol. However, at home Flu should enjoy a comfortable afternoon. 3:1
