Fluminense will be looking to climb into the Brasileirao top-four place when they take on Sao Paulo on Saturday.
With a 2-1 home league win against Bahia, the visitors narrowed the gap to a point from fourth-placed Palmeiras and Flamengo. Fernando Diniz's side come into the tie on the back of a 1-1 draw with Sporting Cristal in the Copa Libertadores in the midweek that helped them to a spot in the knockouts.
On the other hand, Dorival Junior's men sealed a Copa Sudamericana round of 16 berth after beating Tigre 2-0, but languish 11th in the Brasileirao where their last result was a 1-0 loss at Cruzeiro.
