Vasco is preparing for the classic match against Fluminense this Monday at Maracanã. The match is a preview of the Copa do Brasil semifinal clash, which will take place in December.
Against Fluminense, coach Fernando Diniz is trying to break two taboos. The first is to win a classic while in charge of Vasco. The second is to achieve a victory at Maracanã.
Under Diniz’s command, Vasco has three draws and three defeats in classic matches, combining his two stints at the club.
At Maracanã, including all recent coaches, Vasco has not won in 13 matches. During this period, there have been six draws and seven defeats.
A victory in this Monday’s classic will make Vasco fans start dreaming of a spot in the next Libertadores.
The Cruzmaltino team is currently in ninth place in the Brasileirão standings, with 36 points, seven behind Bahia, who occupy the last spot in the G6.
