Flamengo will host Vasco da Gama at the Estadio do Maracana on Sunday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league of late but remain in contention for the league title as they sit fourth in the table with 44 points from 25 matches.
They were beaten 2-1 by Corinthians in a tense affair at the Neo Quimica Arena last time out in the league but bounced back from that on Thursday to secure a spot in the Copa do Brasil semifinals after picking up a 2-0 aggregate victory over Bahia.
Meanwhile, Vasco da Gama are enjoying a solid run of form in the league at the moment and continue to push for the Copa Libertadores places. They beat relegation-threatened Vitoria 1-0 in their last league outing, with former Benfica man Joao Victor scoring the only goal of the game in the second half.
