🗞️ Team News: Vasco da Gama

Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Vasco da Gama manager Ramón Díaz to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Patrick de Lucca (Ruptured knee ligament) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Vascão will probably go for a 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Léo Jardim, Robson Bambu, Maicon, Léo, Lucas Piton, Bruno Praxedes, Gary Medel, Paulinho Paula, Serginho, Pablo Vegetti and Gabriel Pec.

📰 Team News: Fluminense

We reckon that Tricolor seem likely to elect for a 4-1-3-2 formation by sending out Fabio, Guga, Nino, Felipe Melo, Marcelo, André, Jhon Arias, Alexsander, Keno, John Kennedy and Germán Cano.

💡 Prediction

In our opinion, Vasco da Gama will have to play well to get anything against this Fluminense side who we think will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Fluminense when all is said and done.

It should be a good one.
