Key Players to Watch: Fluminense vs Bahia

Germán Cano (Fluminense): The veteran striker is the main goal threat for Fluminense and is a crucial player for them to turn the tie around. He has a proven track record as a prolific goalscorer in Brazil, and his four goals in the Copa do Brasil campaign so far make him one of the top scorers in the competition. Fluminense will be looking to him for goals.

Cauly (Bahia): The attacking midfielder is the creative heartbeat of the Bahia team. He is a key player in their transition from defense to attack and has been instrumental in their recent good form. His ability to dribble past players, create chances, and score goals from midfield makes him a constant threat.

Thiago Silva (Fluminense): While a defender, the veteran's influence on Fluminense is immeasurable. He provides leadership and organisation at the back, and his passing from the back will be vital for Fluminense as they look to build attacks from deep. His experience in high-stakes matches will be crucial for Fluminense's defence as they try to keep a clean sheet and win the game.
