Vasco is once again fighting to avoid relegation in the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Cruzmaltino is in 16th place on the leaderboard and is forced to root for Flamengo to stay out of the Z-4 this round.
This is because Flamengo faces Vitória this Monday (25th) at Maracanã, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. If they do not lose to the Most Beloved, the team from Bahia, which is in 17th place, will reach 20 points on the leaderboard. Thus, they will surpass Vasco, which has 19.
For this reason, Vasco needs to root for a Flamengo triumph over Vitória this Monday (25th) to avoid returning to the relegation zone. It's worth remembering that the Cruzmaltino lost to Corinthians this Sunday (24th), 3-2, at São Januário.
Unlike Vasco, Flamengo is leading the Brazilian Championship, with 43 points. In other words, the Most Beloved is fighting for the Brasileirão title while their rival is struggling to avoid dropping to the Série B of the national tournament.
Therefore, Flamengo takes the field this Monday (25th) against Vitória, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. SporTV, on a closed channel, and Premiere, on pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
