The immediate task on the domestic front is to stop Palmeiras, the current leaders of the Brasileirão, from extending their lead at the top of the standings.
Fluminense currently sits at 26 points, trailing the São Paulo side by six points, as Palmeiras has amassed 32 points.
This Sunday (May 3), the Tricolor will visit Internacional at Beira-Rio for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
