Vasco da Gama visits Bahia this Sunday afternoon, in a match valid for the 35th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The game at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
Both the Cruzmaltinos and the Tricolores need a win to shake off their bad run and fight for their main objectives. In seventh place on the table, with 53 points, Bahia, who haven’t won in three rounds and are coming off a home defeat to Fortaleza, are aiming for a direct spot in the Libertadores. Current fifth-placed Botafogo has only two points more.
Meanwhile, Vasco, who suffered their fourth consecutive defeat last Wednesday against Grêmio and dropped to 13th place with 42 points, remain dangerously close to the relegation zone. Vitória is the first team inside the Z4, with 37 points.
In the first round, at São Januário, the team from Rio came away with a 3-1 victory.
To seek a win in Salvador, coach Fernando Diniz will be without the team’s main technical reference, midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who is suspended due to his third yellow card. In his place, the coach is expected to start young Matheus França.
As for Bahia, Rogério Ceni will have the squad almost at full strength. Only Mateo Sanabria, with a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee, will miss the match.
Ronaldo; Gilberto, David Duarte, Ramos Mingo, and Luciano Juba; Caio Alexandre, Jean Lucas, and Erick (Everton Ribeiro); Ademir, Erick Pulga, and Willian José.
Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Carlos Cuesta, Robert Renan, and Lucas Piton; Cauan Barros, Tchê Tchê, and Matheus França; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira, and Rayan.
