Vasco’s form

Riding three wins in the last four games, Vasco boasts the fourth-best record in the second half of the season and sits 11th with 33 points. For the clash, coach Fernando Diniz will be without full-back Paulo Henrique, who was rested after playing 90 minutes for the Brazilian National Team. However, the team has key returns: center-back Cuesta and midfielder Thiago Mendes have recovered from injury and were included in the squad, as was full-back Puma Rodríguez, who returns from the Uruguayan national team and is expected to start.

Fortaleza’s form

Fortaleza is under heavy pressure. In 18th place with 24 points, the Ceará side needs a win at all costs. Coach Martín Palermo will be without midfielder Matheus Pereira, suspended, but has Lucas Crispim and Moisés back. Despite the poor run, the home team defends an eight-game unbeaten streak against Vasco as hosts.
