Clássico of shame: Vasco v Fluminense sells fewer tickets than Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo Match Against Newly-Promoted Série A Team Expected to Draw Bigger Crowd Than Carioca Derby

A shame! That’s how the ticket sales for the derby between Vasco and Fluminense, which takes place this Wednesday (18th) at Maracanã, can be summed up. For comparison, the match between Flamengo and Remo, which will be held at the same stadium one day later, has already sold more than twice as many tickets.

In the latest update, approximately 20,000 tickets have been sold for Vasco vs Fluminense. On the other hand, the clash between Flamengo and Remo has already seen 45,000 tickets purchased. The trend is that the match featuring the current Brasileirão champions will break the 60,000 barrier.

AND THE CARIOCA RIVALS ARE IN GOOD FORM, AREN’T THEY?

It’s worth noting that Vasco and Fluminense are both enjoying a good season, yet still can’t attract fans to the stadium. The São Januário team is coming off two good results: a comeback win over Palmeiras and a draw against Cruzeiro at Mineirão, even with one player down.

On the other hand, Fluminense has the chance to take the lead in the Brasileirão on Wednesday (18th) and has won its last two matches, against Remo and Athletico-PR—the latter with a goal from Guilherme Arana in the final moments. A reason to get excited? Not for the fans who aren’t used to going to the stadium.

SO, WHEN ARE THE TWO MATCHES, AFTER ALL?

So, Vasco and Fluminense will kick off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã this Wednesday (17th). Meanwhile, Flamengo and Remo will face each other at the same Sacred Temple at 8:00 PM (Brasília time).
