Brasileirao
Vasco da Gama vs Fortaleza
17:00 ET
Fortaleza tries to end the sequence of four defeats in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship tonight, against Vasco da Gama-RJ, at the São Januário stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to eliminating the bad phase, triumph is important because it is a direct confrontation, since Cruz-Maltino is below the Tricolor in the table and also has the priority of remaining in the elite of national football.
Incidentally, Cruz-Maltino is the first opponent of a sequence of direct confrontations that the Lion faces. Of the four subsequent games, three are against teams that are below him in the current classification - after Vasco, come Botafogo-RJ, RB Bragantino and Goiás. The other is Corinthians-SP, which today is a position above Tricolor, with a one more point, but it will also be below if Marcelo Chamusca wins the first victory ahead of Fortaleza against the team from Rio.
