On June 6, Estádio Vasco da Gama (Rio de Janeiro) will host the match of the 9th round of the Brazilian Serie A, in which Vasco da Gama will compete with Flamengo. The battle will start at 01:00 CET.

Vasco da Gama

The team became the champion of the country 4 times and took the Copa Libertadores. Still, the majority of the higher mentioned successes occurred at the end of the previous century. Nowadays, the reality of “the Gigante da Colina” is connected to regular relegations to the Serie B. The team returned once again from there in the previous season, becoming the third in the final standings. This time, the question of fighting for survival will be relevant until the very end of the championship. To tell the truth, the popular club from Brasileiro had a pretty good start: it managed to beat Atlético Mineiro in the first round (the victory was taken at the away arena), which was followed by a bright home draw in the battle with Palmeiras – the match against the champion resulted in a 2-2 equality. Then the state of things became only worse and worse. Having lost to Bahia, Vasco achieved two away draws with the same 1-1 score in the matches against Fluminense and Coritiba, after which there happened three defeats in a row with a total score of 1-7.

Flamengo

The club became the champion of the country in 2019 and 2020. And it dropped to the 5th place in the previous season, however, that result was more than compensated by winning the Copa Libertadores. Nowadays, a new mentor, Jorge Sampaoli, who has failed during his return to Sevilla (the Argentinian specialist was fired from there after six months of work, in the first half of spring), is working in Rio. To tell the truth, not everything is perfect in Brazil. Speaking about the Copa Libertadores, the favourite has won only the battle against Ñublense so far and has got 5 points after 4 rounds. The misfires at the inner arena are also numerous. Moreover, the team lost three times in a row at the junction of April and May; however, it won the same number of matches then. Still, the spring segment ended with a home 1-1 draw in the struggle with Cruzeiro, which returned from the Serie B.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The clubs play a lot of head-to-head matches in Carioca state. Speaking about the semi-final of the championship, which took place in March, Flamengo won both matches, scoring 3 goals each time.

Predictions

Bookmakers admit that “the Vulture” won’t be able to score as much as it did in March, but they believe in the victory of the guests – and it is reasonable to agree with them (odd: 2.02).
