**Fluminense's chasing redemption in the Maracanã against a resurgent Internacional** — Rio's Tricolor are limping through a rough patch and need to snap back fast. 🔴⚪

Flu's form is rough: just one win in five. But they've got the ground advantage and serious firepower in **Hulk** and **Ganso** to terrorize a patchy Internacional defense. The visitors have momentum (two wins in five) yet arrive without key attacking options like **Sanabria**, giving the hosts a real opening.

Key storylines:

- **Hulk** and **Ganso** must create overload in the middle — Internacional's midfield will be stretched thin
- **Alerrandro** carries the goal-scoring load for Inter after injuries gutted their attack; Flu's defense needs to keep him bottled up
- Home edge at the Maracanã is real, but Flu's recent form suggests they could self-sabotage

Expected lineups:

- **Fluminense**: Fábio, G. Arana, T. Silva, I. Rabello, Guga, Nonato, Hércules, K. Serna, Ganso, A. Canobbio, Hulk
- **Internacional**: M. Cunha, B. Gomes, G. Mercado, F. Torres, A. Bernabei, A. Patrick, R. Villagra, Vitinho, T. Maia, J. Carbonero, Alerrandro

Prediction:

**Fluminense 2–1 Internacional**

Flu's talent and home turf should edge a depleted Inter side, but don't expect a clean sheet. Lean: home comfort outweighs recent struggles. ⚽
