Fluminense welcome Corinthians to Maracana for a Brazilian Serie A round 23 fixture on Saturday. The hosts will be hoping to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat they suffered away to Gremio in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores round-of-16 tie.
They took the lead in the 58th minute through Lima but Reinaldo scored a brace within three minutes to help his side claim the win.
Tricolor will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last game saw them fall to a 2-0 defeat away to Vasco.
Corinthians, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 away win over Bragantino in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana tie in midweek. Giovane and Talles Magno scored to give them a two-goal lead by the 14th minute. Helinho halved the deficit in the 56th minute but it was not enough to spark a comeback.
Corinthians' last league game came in a 1-1 draw at home to the same opponent last weekend.
The stalemate left them in 17th spot, having garnered 21 points from 22 games. Fluminense are one point and one spot worse off in the standings.
