Flamengo take the field this Sunday (03) to face Vasco in the Clássico dos Milhões, in the Brazilian Championship, at the Maracanã. With that in mind, ahead of the match, the Vasco side have three confirmed absences and four players on the verge of suspension.
For the match against Flamengo, coach Renato Portaluppi will be without full-back Cuiabano and midfielders Jair and Mateus Carvalho. All of them are currently under the care of Vasco’s medical department.
On the other hand, some players will need to be extra careful to avoid suspension for the next match. That is because Thiago Mendes, Rojas, Cuiabano, Tchê Tchê and Paulo Henrique are one booking away from suspension, with two yellow cards each.
Vasco head into the match against Flamengo with renewed confidence. Renato Portaluppi’s team beat Olimpia (PAR) 3-0 in midweek in the Copa Sudamericana. As a result, they bounced back from the defeat to Corinthians in the Brazilian Championship.
Therefore, Flamengo face Vasco this Sunday (03), at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match live from the stadium.
