Flamengo and Fluminense will face each other this Saturday (11) at 6:30 pm at Maracanã, in a duel valid for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast exclusively on pay-per-view.
With Botafogo's recent drop in performance, Flamengo, who has one game less, has officially rejoined the fight for the Brasileirão title and needs achieve victory to maintain momentum. Despite occupying 5th place in the table, Rubro-Negro is just three points behind the leader, and its position could be changed with the pending match.
On the other hand, Tricolor das Laranjeiras is more relaxed in the competition. With no chance of winning the title and already guaranteed in the group stage of the 2024 Libertadores due to its status as current champion, the team has no immediate ambitions. However, according to coach Fernando Diniz, Fluminense will take the tournament seriously for ethical reasons.
Flamengo: Rossi; Matheuzinho, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Filipe Luís); Erick Pulgar, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Cebolinha and Pedro. Coach: Tite.
Absences: David Luiz and Allan.
Fluminense: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Nino, Felipe Melo (Marllon) and Marcelo (Diogo Barbosa); André, Martinelli, Ganso and Arias; Keno and Cano (John Kennedy). Coach: Fernando Diniz

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
