Fluminense will host Atletico Mineiro at the Estádio do Maracanã on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirão Série A campaign. The hosts will be looking to continue their recent form and pick up vital points going into the final months of the season.
Fluminense were gutted to drop points in the dying seconds of their 2-2 draw against bottom-placed Sport Recife on Wednesday despite being the better side. Luis Zubeldia’s side suffered a lapse in form a couple of months ago after a solid first half of the season, and are working their way back up as they aim for a return to Copa Libertadores football after a two-year absence.
Atletico Mineiro were left frustrated as they failed to capitalize on their chances and had to settle for a point in their goalless draw with Juventude last time out. The Roosters have struggled to find a rhythm this season and are currently sat in 14th place after 24 games played, but will be optimistic to get a result this weekend that could see them move as high as 11th place by the end of this matchday.
