Where to watch

The classic will have extensive coverage on television and the internet. Fans can follow the match through the following channels:

Vasco's situation

The Cruz-Maltino comes into the match on a high. With two consecutive wins, the team is having a great campaign in the second half of the season. Currently in ninth place with 36 points, a victory over their direct rival would put Vasco firmly in the fight for a spot in the Libertadores. For the classic, coach Fernando Diniz will have the return of full-back Paulo Henrique, who was rested in the last game, but will not be able to count on midfielder Hugo Moura, who was sent off in the previous round.

Therefore, the likely lineup would be:

Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan and Lucas Piton; Barros, Tchê Tchê and Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira and Rayan.

Fluminense's situation

The rival is also in good form. Like Vasco, Fluminense has one of the best campaigns in the second half, with 17 points earned. The team, which is just two points away from the G-6, will have the important return of midfielder Lucho Acosta, but there is still a doubt in the attack between Cano and John Kennedy.

Thus, coach Luis Zubeldía is expected to field the following probable lineup:Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Freytes and Renê; Martinelli, Hércules and Lucho Acosta; Serna, Canobbio and Cano (John Kennedy).
