Fluminense, Recent FormFluminense will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Flamengo, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Flamengo's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Estádio do Maracanã, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins. They've had a decent home record this season, unbeaten in 15 of their 16 league games at Estádio do Maracanã.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Estádio do Maracanã, Jhon Arias will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Sao Paulo, Recent FormSao Paulo were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Santos. Their share of possession in that meeting was 70%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Santos had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Dorival Júnior will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 16 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Jonathan Calleri will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sao Paulo.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-0 win for Sao Paulo.
The Tricolor Paulista defence has struggled at Estádio do Maracanã, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 visits.
In the league, Fluminense has a good track record when they host Sao Paulo, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Luciano da Rocha Neves is on a hot scoring streak against Fluminense, having scored in each of Sao Paulo's last 0 meetings with them.
With only Gustavo Apis (Cruciate ligament) and Jorge de Oliveira Moraes (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Fernando Diniz will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Rodrigo Nestor (Knee) and Marcos Paulo (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Jonathan Calleri (Ankle), Giuliano Galoppo (Cruciate ligament), João Moreira (Thigh), Lucas Moura (Thigh), Alexander Pato (Foot), James Rodríguez (Gastrointestinal discomfort) and Igor Vinícius (Groin) all unavailable in the shorter term, Sao Paulo manager Dorival Júnior will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
