Vasco da Gama host Flamengo at the Estadio Sao Januario on Sunday (June 2) in the Brasileirao Serie A. The hosts have had their struggles as they find themselves 13th in the points table with six points from as many games.

They, however, returned to winning ways in the league last time out, beating Vitoria 2-1 at home, with Maicon and Pablo Vegetti netting a quickfire second-half double before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.

Flamengo, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to their league campaign but remain third in the standings, just two points behind Athletico at the top of the pile. They beat Corinthians 2-0 in their last league outing. Pedro opened the scoring in the first half before 17-year-old Lorran doubled their advantage in the second.
