Vasco da Gama go into this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Serie A tied result against Flamengo.

In that match, Vasco da Gama managed 39% possession and 9 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Vasco da Gama was Philippe Coutinho (87'). Flamengo got 17 shots on goal with 3 on target. Gerson (72') was the scorer for Flamengo.

Vasco da Gama have been conceding pretty frequently of late, but they’ve also found ways to score goals themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Vasco da Gama have been punished defensively in 5 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches. Previous results aside, it remains to be seen whether that trend might be maintained here in this match.

• are winless against Palmeiras in their previous 11 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 8 home league matches. They have been so resilient here.

📋 Team News: Vasco da Gama

Jair (Cruciate ligament injury), Paulinho Paula (Cruciate ligament injury), Adson (Broken tibia) and Guilherme Estrella (Knee problems) won’t be playing for Vasco da Gama boss Rafael Paiva.

It seems likely that Vascão should go for a 4-2-3-1 system with Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Maicon, Lucas Piton, Hugo Moura, Mateus Carvalho, Rayan Vitor, Dimitri Payet, David and Pablo Vegetti.

🗞️ Team News: Palmeiras

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira has some current player fitness concerns. Joaquín Piquerez (Knee injury), Marcelo Lomba (Inflammation of pubic bone), Gabriel Menino (Hamstring injury), Marcos Rocha (Hamstring injury), Estêvão (Hamstring injury), Mayke (Calf injury) and Bruno Rodrigues (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Verdão could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Weverton, Agustín Giay, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Vanderlan, Anibal Moreno, Richard Rios, Felipe Anderson, Mauricio, Rony and José Manuel López.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Vasco da Gama should be able to find the back of the net against this Palmeiras outfit, although one goal may not quite be good enough.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Palmeiras after 90 minutes. Hopefully this is a good one.
