Vasco once again has to root for Flamengo in a Brazilian Championship match. This is because the Cruzmaltino is in the last position on the leaderboard, one point behind Cruzeiro, which faces the Rubro-Negro this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã.
Currently, Vasco has one draw and three losses in the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the Cruzmaltino is in the last position of the Brasileirão, with one point. Cruzeiro, on the other hand, is in 19th, with two points, having achieved two draws and two losses.
Therefore, Vasco needs Flamengo to beat Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã, to avoid sinking further at the bottom of the Brazilian Championship. Additionally, the Cruzmaltino will have to defeat Palmeiras on Thursday (12), at São Januário.
Currently, Flamengo has played three matches in the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved has one win, one draw, and one loss, standing in 12th place in the Brasileirão, with four points.
The match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã. The duel, valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship, will be broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel, by GETV on YouTube, and by Premiere on pay-per-view.
