Player to watch: Ganso
As it stands, no player has been booked more times than Ganso in the Serie A this season. The former Sevilla midfielder has received 10 yellow cards in Brazil's top flight and has been suspended twice in the process. In fact, Ganso was booked in each of his last four appearances across all competitions. It is also important to note that the 34-year-old midfielder has more direct goal involvements than any other Fluminense player in the Serie A this season.
