Fluminense will hope to hold on to their unbeaten start to the Brazilian Serie A when they host Santos at the Maracana. Ahead of this game the two sides are separated by a point, Fluminense on five and Santos have four points. Fluminense survived a scare against Bragantino last time out, scoring two late goals to see the clash end 2-2. That came right after a 2-1 loss to Bragantino in the Brazilian Cup, and they will be hoping to return to winning ways. They will also be looking to regain their defensive shape, after keeping clean sheets in their opening three matches of the season. Fluminense have conceded a total of four goals in the last two matches but they’ve scored three. In their last four matches, they haven’t failed to score and with just one loss in the last six matches, they will hold good value going to this game. Fluminense will be without midfielder Hudson, who is nursing a knee injury, while they have no suspensions going to this game.

Santos are also enjoying great form going to this game and it will be interesting to see how this clash of giants pans out. They are unbeaten in their last four matches, with three wins in there, after recovering from the shock opening 3-0 loss to Bahia. Their 0-0 draw with newly promoted Juventude seemed disappointing for Santos, who had won three in a row at that point. However, it marked the third game in four that they had kept clean sheets and going here they’ll be hoping to keep this great run intact. They will welcome back winger Lucas Braga, who returns after time out with a thigh injury but Luan Peres is suspended while Carlos Sanchez, Jobson and Rafael Longuine remain out with injuries.
