Fluminense will host Flamengo at the Estadio do Maracana on Sunday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a near-disastrous start to their league campaign, with pressure now mounting on head coach Fernando Diniz as the side sit rock-bottom in the league table after 10 games.
They were beaten 2-0 by Cruzeiro in their last match, conceding a goal in either half and creating very little despite dominating possession for almost the entirety of the second half.
Flamengo, meanwhile, have performed well in the league this season as they continue their push for a first Brasileirao Serie A title since 2020. They beat Bahia 2-1 in their last match, with Gerson opening the scoring in the first half and David Luiz heading home the game-winner at the death to record his maiden home goal for the club.
