Our Prediction for Fluminense vs Vasco da Gama
The team from Maracanã has had a successful season. In Serie A, they climbed from 13th place in 2024 to fifth. Simultaneously, they reached the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals, losing narrowly to Lanús—0-1 in Argentina and 1-1 at home. In the cup, they've also managed to overcome Internacional and Bahia, among others.
The club from Rio de Janeiro remained at about last year's level in the Brasileirão. Back then, they finished exactly with 50 points and in 10th place. This season, they collected 45 points and finished 14th. If not for a collapse in November with five consecutive losses, they could have been much higher. In the Copa Sudamericana, however, their campaign ended already in July in the round of 32, losing to Independiente del Valle. On the other hand, in the cup, they eliminated, among others, CSA and Operário, and then knocked out Botafogo in the quarterfinals.
In the first leg, the current hosts managed to open the scoring in the middle of the first half. But the opponent equalized after the break, and in stoppage time, Vegetti scored a comeback 2-1 victory!
