After an unexpected draw with Vitória at the Maracanã, Fluminense played again in Rio to face rival Botafogo. In the Grandpa Derby, defending champion Botafogo came out on top and beat Renato Gaúcho's team 2-0. The home side had a good first half and went into the break leading with a goal from Vitinho. Fluminense reacted in the second half and had the ball most of the time but failed to create goalscoring chances, except for a direct free kick from Jhon Arias that hit the bar. With Fluminense desperately trying to break the deadlock, Botafogo scored a second goal through Savarino in a counterattack and sealed the final result. The Tricolor das Laranjeiras dropped to fifth place in the table, keeping ten points. In midweek, Fluminense beat the modest Aparecidense 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil third round. The Cariocas had to suffer to beat a Série D side at home, and on top of that, they lost Germán Cano to a knee injury. The club's medical staff believes that the striker could recover in time for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 to be played in June in the United States.
Fluminense: Lineup
Cano picked up a serious injury and isn't expected to play in the Brasileirão until July. Everaldo should take his place in the attack. Captain Thiago Silva is still out. Martinelli could stay on the bench as he has played every game.

Sport Recife: Form and statistics
The Lion of the North has yet to win a league match, and the pressure on coach Pepa is enormous. Yuri Romão, Sport's president, gave an interview saying that the team was playing well and the results were everyone's fault, not just the coach's. He also said that the only bad game was against Bragantino at home. We share the president's opinion because Sport Recife has been unfortunate in some games, especially when it comes to finishing. In the last round, against Fortaleza, the problem remained, and the game ended 0-0, with the Pernambucanos wasting good chances again. Unlike in other games, Sport can't complain about the refereeing, who didn't validate a Fortaleza goal after the ball crossed the goal line. Sport Recife is in last place, so every match is a final. Pepa's men need a good result against Fluminense to gain the confidence they need.
Sport Recife: Lineup
Pablo and Dalbert have recovered from injuries and are back in Pepa's options. Sérgio Oliveira is doubtful, but if he's fit, he'll start. Gonçalo Paciência picked up an injury in the last game and shouldn't be available. Rivera is back after a one-match ban.
🔖Sport Recife starting lineup (4-5-1)
Caíque – Hereda, João Silva, Chico, Cariús – Lucas Lima, Du Queiroz, Sérgio Oliveira, Zé Lucas, Barletta – Pablo
⛔️Out: Zé Roberto, Rafael Thyere, Paciência (injured)
👤Head Coach: Pepa

Fluminense vs Sport Recife match prediction 04 May 2025
Fluminense is the clear favorite against the last-placed team in the Brasileirão. The Cariocas are strong at home, but they drew with Vitória in their last league game at the Maracanã, so they can't underestimate their opponents. Sport Recife is still winless in the league, so the Pernambucanos will play under pressure.
