📋 Team News: Vitoria

It’s our opinion that Leão da Barra will probably use a 4-3-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Lucas Arcanjo, Mateus Silva, Cacá, Luan Cândido, Ramon, Zé Vitor, Gabriel Baralhas, Emmanuel Martinez, Erick, Renê and Matheuzinho.

ℹ️ Team News: Vasco da Gama

We’re of the thinking that Vascão might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Carlos Cuesta, Robert Renan, Cuiabano, Cauan Barros, Thiago Mendes, Adson, Johan Rojas, Nuno Moreira and Claudio Spinelli.

💡 Prediction

Here is a game where Vasco da Gama might need a bit of good fortune to score against this Vitoria side who we think should score one, at least.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Vitoria at the end of the 90.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
