Sao Paulo will host Fluminense at the Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have picked up good results in the league in recent games and have climbed up to 12th place in the table with 19 points from 16 matches.
They picked up a narrow but largely deserved 1-0 away win over struggling Juventude in their last match, with Luciano scoring a late winner to continue his rich vein of form.
Fluminense, meanwhile, enjoyed a positive start to their league campaign but they seem to have lost their way upon returning from the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States earlier in the month. They were beaten 2-1 on home turf by Palmeiras last time out, with veteran striker German Cano opening the scoring from the spot in the first half before their opponents came from behind to snatch all three points.
The visitors sit four places above their weekend opponents in the league standings, but have managed just one more point and will be desperate to get their campaign back on track on Sunday.
