Fluminense are in third place, with São Paulo right behind them in fourth. The gap in the standings is only three points, but home advantage at the Maracanã could widen that difference. Fluminense have recorded 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in 8 home matches this season, a 75% win rate, scoring 15 goals and conceding 9. In Brazil's Serie A, that home record is enough to put pressure on any visiting side. São Paulo's away record is 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from 8 matches, with a win rate of only 25%, scoring 8 goals and conceding 11. Their performances away from home are a far cry from their form at home. Over the past two years, Fluminense's attack has scored 8 goals against São Paulo at the Maracanã and kept two clean sheets. The psychological edge is with the Tricolor side. São Paulo have nine players on the injury list, including suspended striker Calleri and injured defenders Toloi and Batista, with all three lines affected. This is a direct clash between teams in the standings, and both home advantage and squad completeness are in Fluminense's favor.
