Vasco and Fluminense face off this Monday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at the São Januário stadium for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. As the home team, the Cruzmaltino aims to improve its recent performance against the Tricolor.

The Tricolor defeated the rival 2-1 in February this year, during the Carioca Championship, in a match that took place at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília. The other victory also occurred in the State Championship, but in 2020. On that occasion, the match ended 2-0 for the visiting team.
