I’m off to watch Flu play: all about Fluminense v Vasco

Fluminense and Vasco face each other this Wednesday (05) in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. After a 0-0 draw in the first match, the two teams meet at 9:30 p.m. at the Maracanã for a place in the next stage of the competition.

How Fluminense arrive

Fluminense head into the match with reinforcements compared to their last game. For the clash, Luis Zubeldía will once again be able to count on Jemmes and Castillo. Both were already cleared for the first leg, but because they had completed only one training session before the match, the coach chose not to take them for the game.
