Fluminense vs Internacional Preview

This game brings two good Brazilian teams together and we expect one of the most open games of the weekend to be this Brazilian Serie A clash.

Fluminense are doing well under their new manager, Marcelo Oliviera who took charge prior to the World Cup.

The team had endured a run of four straight losses under their last manager before he stepped in, however, since he took charge, they have been beaten just once in their last six games, winning three of those fixtures.

They are currently 9th in the league table, a position that would be ok if they finished the season there.

However, if they continue their good form, they might end the season even higher up the league table.

Fluminense will be confident ahead of this match having won 2 of their last 3 home games.

Internacional are in an even more luxurious position in the league table.

They sit 3rd just 3 points behind table-toppers Sao Paolo.

They have amassed 32 points from 17 games so far, an impressive haul when you consider that they just got back into the league having won promotion last season.

They now look set for an unlikely push for the title.

Internacional have lost just once in their last 14 games, and they won their last away game against Athletic Miniero so they should be confident when they take to the field in this game.
