  • Paulinho , Jair , Coutinho and Alex Teixeira miss out through injury.

Prediction

  • The last Clássico dos Gigantes saw Fluminense run out 2-1 winners.
  • Vasco da Gama come into this inner Rio battle sitting in 11th place but they will be hoping to improve on their recent league form which has seen them go winless in their last three outings. In midweek however, they progressed to the next round of the Copa do Brasil with a 1-0 victory over Atletico GO.
  • Fluminense exited the Copa do Brasil after losing 5-4 on aggregate against Juventude. Their league form, however, has been on the up as they have won four in a row, following their fourth 1-0 victory on the spin against Bahia. Flu would love a repeat of that here as they currently still sit in the bottom four.
