📋 Vasco line up to host Mirassol in the opening match of round 37 | OneFootball

Vasco takes the field this Tuesday (2nd) to host Mirassol at São Januário, at 7pm (Brasília time), for the "kickoff" of the 37th round of the Brasileirão.

Atlético-MG and Palmeiras have already opened the round in advance, with 2-0 defeats to RB Bragantino and a 0-0 draw with Vitória, respectively, due to their commitments in continental tournaments that ended in November.

The "Giant of the Hill" occupies 11th place with 45 points and still has a chance to qualify for next year's Libertadores, if they finish the Brasileirão in eighth position.

But for that to happen, Cruzeiro or Fluminense need to win the Copa do Brasil, a tournament in which the Rio team is in the semifinals and will even face their tricolor rival on December 11 and 14.

Meanwhile, the "Leão Paulista" is in fourth place with 63 points and is already qualified for the Libertadores, needing just one point in the last two rounds to guarantee a direct spot in the group stage.

Coach Fernando Diniz is expected to keep exactly the same starting lineup that began the 5-1 rout over Internacional in the last round.

Mirassol is coming off a 2-0 defeat to Vitória, looking to bounce back in the championship, and coach Rafael Guanaes has chosen to put Jemmes, Neto Moura, Shaylon, and Renato Marques in place of Luiz Otávio, José Aldo, Gabriel, and Carlos Eduardo, respectively.
