Key Players to Watch: Fluminense vs Flamengo

Vitor Roque (Palmeiras) – After a disappointing season at Barcelona, it seems that Vitor Roque has rediscovered his form back in Brazil. The forward has been Palmeiras' shining star in attack, scoring 19 goals in all competitions.

Thiago Silva and Rene (Fluminense) – For this, I am slightly cheating, but I am going with Thiago Silva and Rene, the centre-back and left-back duo for Fluminense. Both players will need to be on form to stop Flamengo’s powerful attack.
