This match is part of the Brazilian Serie A and will take place on October 16, 2025, at the Maracanã Stadium, beginning at 21:30 local time. The team will face some notable absences during this crucial showdown.
Key Absences: Acosta and Keno
In a significant update, midfielder Lucho Acosta and winger Keno will not participate in the game. Acosta has been a regular starter, playing in all four matches under new coach Zubeldía.

- Midfielder Lezcano
- Forward Riquelme
This will mark the debut for both players under Coach Zubeldía, adding excitement to the match. Riquelme, a product of Fluminense’s youth academy, may have an opportunity to start. Additionally, Serna has also been included in the squad, though he is expected to begin the game on the bench after recently representing Colombia in two friendly matches.
Looking Ahead
This match is crucial as Fluminense aims to secure valuable points in the league. The team hopes to maintain its strong performance despite the absence of key players. With new talents ready to step up, fans are eager to see how the lineup will adapt.
The expected lineup for the match against Juventude is highly anticipated, and the club’s supporters are hopeful for a successful outcome.
