Fluminense welcome Vitoria to Maracana in the Brazilian Serie A on Thursday (June 27). The hosts are at the bottom of the standings with six points from 11 games while Vitoria are 17th with nine points.
Fluminense lost to leaders Flamengo 1-0 in their previous outing. Vinícius Moreira de Lima was sent off in the 88th minute and will be suspended for this game. It was their seventh loss of the campaign, and they sacked head coach Fernando Diniz following a poor start to their season. Assistant coach Marcao will take charge as the interim manager.
Vitoria, meanwhile, saw their unbeaten streak end after four games with a 2-1 loss at RB Bragantino on Sunday. Jean Mota scored his first goal of the season to give them the lead in the first half, but Bragantino scored twice to complete their comeback.

Fluminense have endured a winless run in June, suffering four losses in five games. They have also struggled in the final third, scoring two goals. They have just one home leadug win this season.
Vitoria, meanwhile, scored for the fourth consecutive game. They have scored in four of their five away league games this season.
They let Luiz Adriano return to his parent club, as his contract expires at the end of the month, so the former Shakhtar Donetsk striker is not expected to play here.
Four of the last six meetings between the two teams have ended in draws, and considering their current form, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
