Vasco da Gama and Flamengo meet so often it is beyond counting, and mostly it is Flamengo who come away with the better result. Both meetings this year ended the same way, with Vasco da Gama trailing first and then always fighting back. This time it is different in that Flamengo have climbed to the top of the table, while Vasco da Gama are still stuck in mid-table. Flamengo arrive in very solid shape, unbeaten in a long run of matches and having just won in the league without conceding. Vasco da Gama, meanwhile, have alternated wins and losses, having just lost heavily in the cup 1-3 before bouncing back with a narrow league win. The hosts' defence still has gaps to be exploited, especially in the first half when they often concede first. This game is likely to see Flamengo dominate the ball and squeeze the play in Vasco da Gama's half. If the hosts score first, the game will open up and there is a chance Flamengo hit back quickly, but if Flamengo score first, Vasco da Gama will have to push up and trade blows, and that is exactly the situation the visitors are best at.
