Fluminense e Vitória se enfrentam nesta sexta-feira (6), às 20h, no Barradão, no duelo que encerra a 34ª rodada do Brasileirão. Com objetivos distintos na tabela, as duas equipes precisam pontuar.
O Tricolor está no G4 e busca três pontos para se aproximar de uma vaga na Libertadores. Já o Leão da Barra tem apenas um ponto de margem sobre a zona de rebaixamento e precisa vencer para se afastar dela.
O time carioca vive fase instável: venceu o Internacional por 2 a 1, mas acumulou derrotas para Chapecoense, Santos e Flamengo. O Flu soma 54 pontos: 15 vitórias, nove empates, nove derrotas, 52 gols marcados e 42 sofridos.
Do outro lado, o Vitória não ganha há quatro jogos: perdeu para Coritiba e São Paulo e empatou com Corinthians e Athletico Paranaense. Antes dessa série, havia batido a Chapecoense por 4 a 0.
O Leão tem 38 pontos e ocupa o 15º lugar, com dez vitórias, oito empates e 15 derrotas, 35 gols pró e 48 contra. Vencer é fundamental para evitar as últimas posições.
Nos últimos dez confrontos entre os dois, o Fluminense venceu três, o Vitória duas e houve cinco empates.
Prováveis escalações
Vitória: Lucas Arcanjo; Edenílson, Cacá, Luan Cândido, Jamerson; Caique, Zé Vitor; Erick, Emmanuel Martínez, Diego Tarzia; Renê.
Fluminense: Fábio; Guga, Thiago Silva, Juan Freytes, Renê; Hércules, Nonato; Agustín Canobbio, PH Ganso, Jefferson Savarino; Hulk.
