Vasco face Olimpia (PAR) this Thursday (30) in a Copa Sudamericana match. Already thinking about the planning ahead of the derby against Flamengo on Sunday (03) in the Brasileirão, coach Renato Gaúcho will field a completely reserve side against the Paraguayans at São Januário.
Since the start of the Copa Sudamericana, Renato Gaúcho has been using an alternate Vasco lineup. In the team’s tournament debut against Audax Italiano (CHI), the coach did not even travel with the squad to Chile. However, at São Januário, the manager is expected to repeat the strategy and start with the usual first-team players on the bench.
It is important to point out that, even though Vasco are not having an easy time in the Copa Sudamericana, Renato Gaúcho wants to rest some starters. So far, Vasco have recorded a draw with Barracas Central (ARG) and a defeat against Audax Italiano at home. Therefore, playing once again at São Januário at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (30), the team will look for its first win.
The match between Flamengo and Vasco is scheduled for next Sunday (03) at 4 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ will be valid for the 14th round of the Brasileirão. Before that, however, Mengão take the field in the Libertadores.
This Wednesday (29), Flamengo face Estudiantes in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) in La Plata, Argentina. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air TV), GETV (YouTube) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
