The Estádio São Januário is the venue for a Brasileirão Betano matchup this weekend as Vasco da Gama takes on Fluminense.
Both team have enjoyed some decent form in the past month, and we can expect a competitive contest with both teams pushing for the three points.
Fluminense have edged recent meetings, but Vasco claimed the points in their last Brasileirão Betano encounter at the Estádio São Januário last year.

Vasco da Gama and Fluminense have met on 13 occasions since 2020. Fluminense won seven of those games while Vasco claimed two victories including a 2:0 win at this venue in last season's Serie A contest.
Vasco da Gama team overview
Vasco da Gama extended their winning run to two matches with a 2:0 win against Fortaleza on Thursday. In a bad-tempered match in which three men were sent off, goals from David and Rayan secured a valuable victory for Fernando Diniz's side.
An improved run of form in recent weeks has seen Vasco pick up four victories in their five most recent league fixtures. Unbeaten in nine of their last ten matches, Vasco find themselves up to eighth in the division, five points behind Fluminense.
Strong in home fixtures, Diniz's men claimed wins in each of their last three home league contests, while they have lost only four of 14 games played at Estádio São Januário this season.
The hosts have just two reported injury absentees this week. Jair and Adson are expected to remain sidelined while Adam Barreiro is suspended after his dismissal for violent conduct in the away win at Fortaleza earlier this week.

Fluminense team overview
Fluminense make the trip to the Estádio São Januário after a hard-fought 1:0 win against Juventude on Thursday. Thiago Silva's goal, eight minutes into stoppage time, secured a dramatic victory for Luis Zubeldia's side.
A strong run of form has seen the visitors avoid defeat in six of their last seven matches, with four wins and two draws recorded during that period.
Less impressive on their travels, the Tricolor lost two while winning just one of their last five away Serie A matches. Fluminense slipped to a 2:1 defeat at Mirassol in their most recent road contest.
Head coach Zubeldia is unable to call on two first-team players this week. Injured duo Nonato and Ganso remain unavailable for the visitors.

Prediction
Vasco da Gama could have the edge in a likely entertaining Brasileirão Betano contest this weekend.
I'm banking on the hosts to at least avoid defeat in a game where both teams could get on the scoresheet.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Vasco da Gama to Win or Draw
- Vasco da Gama are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 matches
- Vasco da Gama are unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 home matches against Fluminense
- Fluminense failed to win 4 of their last 5 away matches
