VASCO'S CARRASCO, ARRASCAETA COULD BE OUT OF THE "GOAL DROUGHT IN THIS SUNDAY'S CLASSIC

Experiencing a great drought of participation in goals for Flamengo, Arrascaeta will have a great chance this Sunday (2) to participate in goals again for Mais Querido. This is because, the Rubro-Negro faces Vasco, at 4pm, at Maracanã, in a game valid for the seventh round of the Brasileirão.

According to a survey carried out by GE's Espião Estatístico, Arrascaeta faces the longest period without direct participation in goals since he debuted for Flamengo, in January 2019. In total, there are 11 matches without goals or assists.

The last time the shirt 14th assist was on March 9, in the first match of Carioca's semi-final, where he put the ball over Pedro's head. Furthermore, the last goal scored by the midfielder was seven days earlier, when Luiz Araújo crossed, Bruno Henrique squared it, and Arrascaeta caught it first time.

COULD THE INJURY HAVE IMPROVED THE PERFORMANCE?

THE Arrascaeta's performance on the field fell sharply after the Uruguayan midfielder suffered an injury in the defeat of Flamengo 2-0 to Botafogo, on April 28th. The problem took the player out of three games in a row, although in the duel against Corinthians he was on the bench.

CAN VASCO HELP ARRASCAETA?

The classic between Vasco and Flamengo this Sunday (2) could be a great stimulus for Arrascaeta to once again participate directly in goals. This is because the Uruguayan is Cruzmaltino's executioner and has an excellent record against his rival.

In total, Arrascaeta has five goals, six assists, in 16 games against Vasco. With 11 wins, four draws and just one defeat for Cruzmaltino. Thus, the star of Mais Querido will be able to rediscover his confidence in the classic soon.
