Fluminense face Vasco as Palmeiras visit Botafogo and Flamengo meet Remo | OneFootball

The Maracanã hosts Saturday's derby between Fluminense and Vasco from 21:00, a meeting of the Brasileirão's two most attacking teams. The stakes are live at both ends of the table.

Fluminense are protecting a G-4 place, and a defeat could see Bahia and Cruzeiro finish the round above them. Vasco are chasing a positive result to escape the relegation zone. According to Globo.com, Favoritismos, in partnership with economist Bruno Imaizumi, provides analysis of all 10 Série A matches this round.

Palmeiras have seen their lead trimmed to one point and travel to face Botafogo. They aim to extend a recent pattern, with Palmeiras winning seven of the last 11 Série A meetings away to Botafogo, while the hosts won three.

Flamengo have lost only one of their last 12 matches and now face Remo. Remo have won only three of their last 12, including six defeats, yet remain dangerous on the counter-attack.

In the derby at the Maracanã, attacking efficiency will be the key to the contest.
