Vasco da Gama - Fluminense
*Game between two teams who didn't lose for quite some time. I must admit I love Fluminense side. They play good football, and they play attacking football. Yes and there is Dejan "Rambo" Petkovic, king of Fluminense.
*Vasko after 2 rounds have 4 points:
Ponte Preta - Vasco da Gama 1:2
Vasco da Gama - Internacional 1:1
They playe Copa Brasil in thursday and they didn't have much time to train for this game. Coach Renato Gaúcho, must be happy with his defence. They conceded just 7 goals in last 8 matches. 12 matches before that they conceded 21 goal. But I think their defence is not so good. Vasko is attacking side, and they like to play OVER games. Flu's attack will be big test for this so called "good Vasko D-unit". Renato Gaúcho is still out with injury, and coach is concerned becouse his two attackers Valdiram and Edílson didn't score for 5 games in a row now.
*Fluminense is coming to this game in great spirit. They are no.1 in Brasiliero after 2 weeks, they playing good in Copa, and they must be happy with that. They are withouth lose for 11 consecutive games now. This game is big derby and they now importance of winning this kind of games. Btw. they didn't won against Vasko away from home for 6 years in a row now, and this is perfect opportuniti for them (0-2-5 from 2000-2006.). Coach Oswaldo de Oliveira will go on Vasko with full squad, no calculations. Midlefielder Marcão is only player injured or suspended for Flu in this game.
*Probable squads:
Vasco
Cássio; Wagner Diniz, Fábio Braz, Jorge Luiz e Diego; Ygor, Andrade (Abedi), Morais e Ramon; Edílson e Valdiram.
Técnico: Renato Gaúcho.
Fluminense
Fernando Henrique; Thiago Silva, Roger e Thiago; Rogério, Romeu (Ângelo), Arouca, Petkovic e Marcelo; Lenny e Tuta.
Técnico: Oswaldo de Oliveira.
*Well Flu is much better side IMHO in this one, but this is big game for both sides, and Vasko have perfect H2H on their stadium. But I will listen my gut on this one. So 3 bets for this matchup...
