Vasco v Fluminense: likely line-ups, referee and where to watch | OneFootball

Fluminense faces Vasco this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. The match will be part of the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.

This will be the third encounter between the teams within a span of 24 days. In the first two, during the semifinals of the Carioca Championship, Tricolor came out on top: they won the first leg 1-0 and drew the second leg 1-1, securing their qualification.

Currently in third place with 13 points, Fluminense arrives boosted by two consecutive victories over Remo and Athletico-PR, and continues strong in the fight for the lead. Tricolor could even finish the round at the top of the table, provided they win the classic and count on a slip-up by Palmeiras and a defeat by São Paulo, in addition to overcoming the goal difference.

For the duel, the tendency is for specific changes in the starting lineup compared to the last match. Defender Jemmes and left-back Renê are expected to return. In attack, Savarino is maintained after good performances alongside Lucho Acosta.

Probable Fluminense lineup: Fábio, Samuel Xavier (Guga), Jemmes, Freytes, and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli, and Lucho Acosta; Savarino, Canobbio, and John Kennedy.

Where to watch

The classic will be broadcast by Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
