An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 15th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Avaí and Fluminense.

It's quite the trip for Fluminense when visiting Avaí as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

For Avaí relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Fluminense are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
