How to watch today's Fluminense vs Once Caldas Copa Sudamericana game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Fluminense and Once Caldas will go head-to-head in a high-stakes Sudamericana group-stage finale on Thursday, with the iconic Maracanã hosting the battle for Group F supremacy.

The Rio-based hosts arrive with renewed belief, blending experience with youthful flair as they look to seal top spot. Sitting mid-table in the 2025 Brasileirao, Mano Menezes' side has saved some of their best football for the continental stage, showing glimpses of a resurgence in form when it matters most.

Across the pitch, Once Caldas are brimming with confidence after clinching a place in the Apertura 2025 playoff quadrangulars. Under Hernan Dario Herrera, the Colombian outfit knows exactly what's at stake: a win or even a draw in Rio would cement their spot as Group F winners and book a place in the Sudamericana knockouts. The pressure's on—but so is the opportunity.

Fluminense team news

Fluminense will be missing the experienced Paulo Henrique Ganso, who remains sidelined after being diagnosed with myocarditis during pre-season checks. His absence, though, has paved the way for rising star Riquelme Felipe, who’s already turning heads. Nicknamed the "new Riquelme," the 18-year-old playmaker has dazzled with his technique, vision, and calmness beyond his years, recently crowned the breakout talent of the Campeonato Carioca.

Leading the charge up front is the ever-reliable German Cano. The Argentine marksman, now 37, is enjoying a rich vein of form with 10 goals in 11 appearances this year—including a clutch brace in the Copa do Brasil. He remains the heartbeat of the attack, supported by promising homegrown talents like Matheus Martinelli, a steady midfield presence since 2020, and versatile defender Lucas Justen, who’s beginning to carve out a regular spot in the backline.

Once Caldas team news

As for Once Caldas, they're expected to roll out a near full-strength lineup. Herrera may tinker tactically to shore up a leaky defence, possibly opting for a more pragmatic approach to blunt Fluminense's attacking threats.

The side boasts a strong spine, with Juan David Rodríguez bringing know-how in midfield and Andrés Felipe Correa marshalling the defence. Up front, young gun Dayro Moreno will shoulder the goal-scoring responsibilities as the Colombians aim to pull off a statement result in Brazil.
