Fluminense was in fourth place since the sixth round, but the team has alternated between third and fourth place in the championship since then. The team's recent loss to Atlético-MG, however, has seen them drop to fifth place.

The team's focus has shifted back to the Brasileirão after qualifying for the Libertadores semifinals. This Sunday, Fluminense will face Corinthians in a crucial match, with the team looking to return to the G-4 of the Brasileirão and secure a spot in the Libertadores next year.

Corinthians, on the other hand, has not won in six games, with their last victory coming in the Libertadores quarterfinals against Rosário Central. The team's poor form could work in Fluminense's favor, as they look to capitalize on the opportunity to regain their spot in the top four.

A win for Fluminense would see them reach 48 points, potentially surpassing Bahia and Athletico-PR, who are currently tied on 46 points. This would put Fluminense back in the G-4 of the Brasileirão.

The match between Fluminense and Corinthians takes place on Sunday at 16h (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, with the game being broadcast on TV Globo and Premiere.
