📋 Team News: Atletico PR

The Atletico PR manager Cuca Stival does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this match owing to a fully injury-free group available for selection.

It’s our opinion that Furação will probably line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time featuring Bento, Leonardo Godoy, Kaique Rocha, Mateo Gamarra, Lucas Esquivel, Erick Carvalho, Fernandinho, Bruno Zapelli, Julimar, Pablo and Tomás Cuello.

📋 Team News: Vasco da Gama

Vasco da Gama manager Rafael Paiva has to currently contend with reduced team options. Paulinho Paula (Cruciate ligament injury) and Jair (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be making appearances.

We are inclined to think that Vascão seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Maicon, Léo, Lucas Piton, Mateus Carvalho, Hugo Moura, Pablo Galdames, Rossi, Pablo Vegetti and David.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Vasco da Gama will surely be able to score a goal against this Atletico PR team, although it possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We are anticipating a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Atletico PR at full-time. Should be a good one.
