📰 Team News: Vasco da Gama

Paulinho Paula (Cruciate ligament injury) and Jair (Cruciate ligament injury) are not available for Vasco da Gama manager Ramón Díaz.

It’s our opinion that Vascão should line up in a 4-3-3 system this time, utilising Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Gary Medel, Léo, Lucas Piton, Mateus Carvalho, Juan Sforza, Pablo Galdames, Rossi, Pablo Vegetti and David.

📰 Team News: Grêmio

Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Grêmio gaffer Renato Portaluppi to be concerned about. Felipe Carballo (surgery) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Tricolor dos Pampas might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Agustín Marchesín, João Pedro, Rodrigo Ely, Walter Kannemann, Cuiabano, Mathías Villasanti, Du Queiroz, Franco Cristaldo, Cristian Pavón, Diego Costa and Yeferson Soteldo.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Grêmio will do well to find the net against this Vasco da Gama side who should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore seeing a 1-0 winning score for Vasco da Gama at the conclusion of the game.
