📰 Team News: Vasco da Gama

David (Cruciate ligament tear), Dimitri Payet (Knee problems) and Guilherme Estrella (Knee problems) aren’t available for Vasco da Gama gaffer Fernando Diniz.

It seems likely that Vascão will possibly employ a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Lucas Freitas, Lucas Piton, Tchê Tchê, Philippe Coutinho, Jair, Rayan Vitor, Pablo Vegetti and Nuno Moreira.

ℹ️ Team News: Red Bull Bragantino

Red Bull Bragantino manager Fernardo Seabra has not got a full squad to pick from. Agustín Sant'Anna (Hamstring injury), Henry Mosquera (Hamstring injury), Douglas Mendes (Hamstring injury), Fernando (Tendonitis) and Lucão (ankle sprain) will not be playing here.

We reckon that Leão da Zona will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Cleiton, Jose Andres Hurtado, Pedro Henrique, Eduardo Santos, Juninho Capixaba, Eric Ramires, Gabriel, Vinicinho, Jhon Jhon, Ignacio Laquintana and Thiago Borbas.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Red Bull Bragantino will have to play well to see themselves scoring against this Vasco da Gama lineup who we reckon will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Vasco da Gama when the full-time whistle blows.

Let’s see what happens.
