Team Analysis
- Criciúma: Known as the "Tigers," Criciúma finished third in the last Serie B season, securing their return to the country's top division. The club is on a good path to staying in the top league. They suffered their first loss only in June after the championship resumed, with two more consecutive defeats. However, since mid-month, they have been consistently picking up points, except for the 1-2 losses to São Paulo and Vitória in the last round.
- Fluminense: Known as the "Tricolors from Rio," Fluminense are the reigning Copa Libertadores champions. In the new edition of the tournament, they are performing well with four wins and two draws in their group. However, in Serie A, the giant is clearly struggling. They have already dismissed the 2023 triumphant coach, Fernando Diniz. The victory over Vasco da Gama in April remains their last one until July. Moreover, the 1-1 draw with Internacional ended a series of six defeats in the championship. However, they were defeated by Fortaleza, albeit with a score of 1-0.
