Despite all the problems in Brazil due to the floods in the last weeks, the teams agreed to slowly resume the Brasileirão. One of the matches to restart the league will be between Vasco da Gama and Flamengo.
For the moment, we have a strange table of positions, as we have Paranaense at the top, equal 13 points with Bahia. However, this is just the beginning, so any team can have a chance to be as high as possible in the next few rounds. In addition, there are many teams with less than six games played, so we’ll see drastic changes on the table one way or another.

Why Bet on Vasco da Gama?
Vasco da Gama has had a really bad start to the season in the Brasileirão, as after six games, they have a record of two wins and four losses, which places them 13th in the standings. Although they are out of the relegation zone, they had a streak of four consecutive defeats after winning their first game of the season, which sent them dangerously close to the bottom of the table.
However, there is still a long way to go this season, and the Cruzmaltés can do the honors to climb up the table, stay away from relegation, and fight for a place in an international competition in South America.
Vasco da Gama has just ended a streak of four consecutive defeats with a 2-1 win over Vitória. In addition, they also advanced from the third round of the Brazilian Cup after beating Fortaleza on penalties.
Why Bet on Flamengo?
On the other hand, we have Flamengo, one of the most popular and historic teams in Série A, that has started very well in this 2024 Brasileirão season.
Currently, the Fla is in third place with three wins, two draws, and one loss, with seven goals scored and five conceded. The Rio de Janeiro club is only two points behind the top of the table, so they will go into this match with all their arsenal available to seek the 3 points.
The Mengão come into this matchday after a 2-0 win against Corinthians. However, after this and the suspension of some matches due to the floods, Flamengo beat Bolivar 4-0 in the Copa Libertadores, Amazonas 1-0 in the Copa do Brasil, and, finally, Millonarios, also in the Libertadores, with an excellent score of 3-0.
