Vasco train with eyes on Flamengo derby in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

This Friday, Vasco continued their preparations for the derby against Flamengo, valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for this Sunday at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.

The players started the training with physical exercises in the gym and then went to the field, where they warmed up, still without the ball. Afterwards, they were divided into groups for ball possession activities in reduced spaces.

The Giant of the Hill concludes their preparation for the clash with the Red-Black this Saturday. Lucas Piton and Tchê Tchê, who are recovering from injuries, are out for the match. Meanwhile, Thiago Mendes, in transition and training with the rest of the team, might be available for Fernando Diniz.

The Cruzmaltino remains alive in two competitions. Last week, they eliminated Botafogo on penalties and advanced to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, with Fluminense as their next opponent.

In the Brasileirão, the situation is delicate. Vasco is in 15th place, with 23 points – just one more than Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone. The team from Rio comes from a 2-2 draw with Ceará, at São Januário.
