Vasco line-up confirmed to face Bahia | OneFootball

Bahia and Vasco face off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday, at the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Winless in their last three matches, Bahia arrives under pressure after losing at home to Fortaleza, which knocked them out of the direct qualification zone for the Libertadores. The Tricolor plays its penultimate match at Fonte Nova in 2025 and needs all three points to stay alive in the fight for the G-5.

Vasco, on the other hand, is going through its worst streak in the competition: four consecutive defeats — São Paulo, Botafogo, Juventude, and Grêmio. Fernando Diniz’s team has dropped to 13th place, with 42 points, and has moved further away from the race for a Libertadores spot. The Cruz-Maltino still dreams of a Pre-Libertadores berth, but also needs to reach 45 points to eliminate any risk of relegation. Suspended due to his third yellow card, Philippe Coutinho is a significant absence.
