Check out Vasco’s line-up with changes | OneFootball

Vasco is set to face Grêmio. In the final training session before the match, held on Tuesday morning at CT Moacyr Barbosa, Fernando Diniz defined the team with important changes, including the improvisation of Hugo Moura in defense. The squad traveled in the afternoon to Porto Alegre, where they will face their rivals this Wednesday at 9:30 PM, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

Without defender Carlos Cuesta, who was called up by the Colombian national team, Diniz decided to improvise midfielder Hugo Moura in defense alongside Robert Renan. This adaptation, already tested on other occasions during training, aims to maintain quality ball distribution and reinforce defensive intensity against an opponent known for pressing at home.

Another new feature is the presence of Thiago Mendes, who returned to training among the starters and may get important minutes in the final stage. The midfielder is coming off a physical reconditioning process and is close to reclaiming his place in the team.

The team maintained the offensive structure that has been worked on in recent rounds, with Nuno Moreira and Rayan out wide, and Vegetti in the center. The expectation is for an aggressive Vasco in attack, but with extra attention to defensive transitions.
