📰 Team News: Vasco da Gama

Cuiabano (muscular problems), Mateus Carvalho (Torn knee ligaments), Paulo Henrique (Injury to the ankle) and Jair (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing for Vasco da Gama manager Renato Gaúcho. Carlos Cuesta cannot play in this game through suspension.

In our view, Vascão should go for a 4-3-3 formation for this game, utilising Léo Jardim, J. Luis Rodríguez, Alan Saldivia, Robert Renan, Lucas Piton, Cauan Barros, Johan Rojas, Thiago Mendes, Adson, Claudio Spinelli and Carlos Andres Gomez.

🗞️ Team News: Red Bull Bragantino

Red Bull Bragantino boss Vágner Mancini has not got a full squad to pick from. Ryan Augusto (Meniscus injury), Davi Gomes (Cruciate ligament tear), Guzmán Rodríguez (Torn knee ligaments), Fabrício (Injury to the ankle), Bruninho (Heel injury), Fabinho (Pubalgia), Eduardo (Hamstring injury) and Matheus Fernandes (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game. Pedro Henrique cannot play in this game through suspension.

We believe Leão da Zona will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Tiago Volpi, Agustin Sant'Anna, Alix, Gustavo Marques, Juninho Capixaba, Gabriel, Ramires, Jose Herrera, Rodriguinho, Henry Mosquera and Isidro Pitta.

✨ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Red Bull Bragantino might need a bit of good fortune to score against this Vasco da Gama outfit who we reckon should score one, at least.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Vasco da Gama when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be interesting.
