New signings set to make Vasco debut against Nova Iguaçu 👇🏽 | OneFootball

After debuting in the Carioca-2026 with a victory over Maricá, Vasco will have an alternative team to face Nova Iguaçu.

Highlighting the likely presence of Saldivia and Rojas among the starters.

The two signings made so far should be the main attractions for the match at São Januário. 

Only one starter?

The expectation is that coach Fernando Diniz will keep only Léo Jardim from the team that started against Maricá.

The idea is not to push the team considered ideal, especially with the Clássico dos Milhões coming up. 

The presence of Victor Luis at left-back is already certain due to the suspension of Lucas Piton.

Vasco is expected to have the following lineup: Léo Jardim; Puma Rodríguez, Saldivia, Lucas Freitas, Victor Luís; Hugo Moura, Tchê Tchê, JP; Garré, GB, and Rojas.

The Cruz-Maltino will try to maintain their 100% record in the Carioca against the Laranja da Baixada, who also won in their debut. 

The match will kick off at 6 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (18) at the Caldeirão.
