Second-from-bottom, Vasco da Gama, will play host to ninth-placed Flamengo in the Brazilian Serie A on Tuesday. The hosts have gotten the season off to a very poor start and find themselves on six points after eight games. They are two points below Corinthians, who are the first side above the relegation zone. Vasco da Gama lost their last match 2-0 to Fortaleza. However, they have played a game less than the sides around them. Their only win this season came in their opening match, and since then, they have failed to win any of the next seven matches, drawing three and losing four. Vasco da Gama are yet to win at home this season in three matches, losing two and drawing the other. The hosts haven’t beaten this opponent in their last two attempts, and based on their early season form, they’re likely to struggle in this one as well. 

After losing three of their first four matches this season, Flamengo have improved noticeably in recent weeks. They’ve broken into the top half of the table, and a win here could take them to 16 points and into the top five. Their 1-1 draw against Cruzeiro extended their unbeaten league run to four matches, including three wins and a draw. Flamengo lost their first two away matches but managed to register their first win on the road when they played Bahia last month. They beat this opponent twice in the Carioca Serie A this season already, scoring three in each game. The visitors have some upward momentum behind them and will want to keep it going with another win in this match.
