There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Fluminense players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Corinthians.  They came away from that fixture with 70% of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Corinthians managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Fernando Diniz will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  

They have been performing well at Estádio do Maracanã recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.

Red Bull Bragantino will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Santos.  They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Santos' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Massa Bruta, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.  

On an individual basis, Luan Cândido will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Red Bull Bragantino's last 6 league games.
