Juventude will host Fluminense at the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi in a matchday 33 fixture in the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 2-0 away victory over Chapecoense. Guilherme and Vitor Mendes scored first-half goals to help their side secure maximum points.
Fluminese completed a 2-1 comeback victory over Palmeiras. Yago scored a second-half brace to overturn the deficit after Dudu had put the visitors ahead in a game that saw Palmeiras reduced to 10 men.
Fluminese remain in eighth spot, having garnered 45 points from 32 matches. Juventude's 36 points are only good enough for 17th place and a win could take them out of the relegation zone.
Juventude vs Fluminense Head-to-Head
Fluminense have six wins from their last 13 matches against Juventude. Three matches have ended in draws while Wednesday's hosts were victorious on four occasions.
