Fluminense will face Bahia at the Maracanã on Wednesday night for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, needing to recover from a loss in the first leg. According to Máquina do Esporte, over 22,000 tickets have been sold, with attendance expected between 35,000 and 40,000 as supporters gather for this crucial match.
Bahia won 1-0 in Salvador last week, meaning that Rogério Ceni’s team only needs a draw to secure a place in the semifinals for the first time in their history. Fluminense must win by two goals to advance directly or by one goal to trigger a penalty shootout.
The Rio club will be nearly at full strength, missing only Samuel Xavier due to injury. Key players like Germán Cano and Jhon Arias are set to lead the attack in front of the home crowd.
Bahia has already arrived in Rio with some injuries but is feeling confident after their first-leg victory. For Ceni’s squad, reaching the semifinals would be a significant achievement in the club’s recent history.
