Match Preview

Corinthians host Fluminense at Neo Química Arena for round 28 of the Brasileirão, and the two sides arrive in very different moods. Corinthians sit 13th with 32 points, well off the pace for a Libertadores spot, while Fluminense sit on 45 points and remain in contention for continental qualification — meaning there's considerably more at stake for the visitors. Under Fernando Diniz, Corinthians have lost three straight league matches, though the club's energy has gone into a promising Libertadores run, including a quarterfinal tie against Estudiantes. Fluminense head into this one in better shape, coming off a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama. Keep an eye on Yuri Alberto, Corinthians' leading scorer this season, up against a Fluminense side built around John Kennedy and veteran forward Germán Cano. The two teams already met once this season, with Fluminense winning 3-1. Our prediction: 1-1
