The stage is set for a thrilling Brasileirão showdown under the lights at Beira-Rio this Sunday (3), as Internacional and Fluminense prepare to lock horns in a crucial 14th-round clash. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with all eyes on Porto Alegre for this high-stakes encounter.

Both teams come into this match with contrasting fortunes. Internacional finds themselves in a precarious position, sitting just above the relegation zone with 14 points and winless in their last three league outings. The pressure is mounting on manager Paulo Pezzolano, who will be eager to steer his side away from the bottom four. The good news? He’ll only be missing key players Rochet and Mercado, giving him a relatively full squad to choose from.

Fluminense, meanwhile, are flying high in third place with 26 points, showcasing their title credentials. Manager Zubeldía has the luxury of reintroducing Lucho Acosta and Nonato to the squad—both will start on the bench—but he’s opted to rest some regular starters with an eye on a critical upcoming clash against Independiente Rivadavia. It’s a strategic gamble that could pay off if his depth players step up.

Here’s how the teams will line up:

Internacional: Anthoni; Bruno Gomes, Felix Torres, Victor Gabriel, and Matheus Bahia; Bruno Henrique, Villagra, and Bernabei; Alex, Carbonero, and Alerrandro.

Fluminense: Fábio; Jemmes, Millán, and Freytes; Samuel Xavier, Bernal, Alisson, and Guilherme Arana; Canobbio, Soteldo, and John Kennedy.

Felipe Fernandes de Lima (MG) will take charge as referee, with live coverage available on SporTV and Premiere. For Internacional, this is more than just a game—it’s a chance to reignite their season and climb out of danger. For Fluminense, it’s an opportunity to solidify their place among the league’s elite. Expect fireworks at Beira-Rio.
