Fluminense has not yet guaranteed a place in the playoffs, but at the same time, the tricolours are clearly betting on winning the group, and it is very important to miss the 1/16 finals. The task for the hosts today is quite clear – to take three points, get a landslide victory and continue the fight for leadership in the group. It is unlikely that Fluminense will have problems achieving their goal today – Union Espanyol is extremely vulnerable in away matches, seriously inferior in class, and the Chileans have frankly little tournament motivation, it is likely that even a certain rotation will take place.
