Fluminense aim to keep positive record with Wilton v Vasco | OneFootball

Fluminense returns to the pitch this Wednesday (5) at 9:30 p.m. at the Maracanã to decide qualification for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals against Vasco. Beyond the anticipation surrounding the derby, Tricolor takes the field with a favorable record under referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio, appointed by the CBF for the match.

According to a survey by the portal Estatísticas Fluminense, the team has played 43 matches with Wilton Pereira Sampaio as referee. The record stands at 22 wins, 10 draws, and 11 losses, a performance that represents a 58.91% success rate.

Another encouraging fact for the fans is the recent run. Fluminense has won the last four matches officiated by the referee from Goiás, who is once again set to oversee a decisive match involving the club.

The last time Wilton Pereira Sampaio officiated a Fluminense vs. Vasco clash in the Copa do Brasil was in the 2025 semifinal. On that occasion, Tricolor won 1-0 in regular time, a result that took the decision to penalties. In the shootout, however, Vasco came out on top and secured qualification.

Now, the situation is similar. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the round of 16, whoever wins at the Maracanã will advance to the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. If there is another draw, the spot will be decided on penalties.
