Vasco back in training, prepare for Copa do Brasil v Palmeiras | OneFootball

Vasco returned to training this Monday at the Moacyr Barboza Training Center, focusing on the upcoming match against Palmeiras for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The team from Rio de Janeiro is coming off a 2-0 victory over Cruzeiro at São Januário, in the 25th round of the Brasileirão. The goals of the triumph were scored by Rayan and Paulo.

In the Brasileirão, Vasco has accumulated 30 points and is currently in 11th place, with 25 matches played. The Gigante da Colina has distanced itself from the relegation zone, opening an eight-point gap from Juventude, which is in 17th place.

Thus, the match against Palmeiras is seen as crucial for entering the fight for a spot in the Libertadores. If Vasco wins and Bahia or Botafogo stumble, the Cruzmaltino will be seven points away from the G6.

Vasco's Absences

However, Vasco will have four absences to face Verdão. Besides the injured Lucas Piton (calf injury), Adson (tibia fracture), and Jair (anterior cruciate ligament tear in the right knee), the midfielder Barros received his third yellow card and is suspended for the match against Palmeiras.
