How to watch and recent record

The match, valid for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão, will have dual broadcast. The channels Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (cable) will show the match live. Vasco needs to deal with a very negative record against the rival.

The Gigante da Colina hasn't beaten Juventude in 16 years. The last victory was in 2009 in the Série B when the club secured promotion with a 2×1 win in a packed Maracanã.

In the first round this year, in Caxias do Sul, the team from Rio Grande do Sul won 2-0, with goals from Nenê and Gabriel Taliari.

Changes in Vasco's team

Coach Fernando Diniz will have two important returns. Full-back Paulo Henrique and midfielder Nuno Moreira return from suspension. PH takes the place of Puma Rodríguez and Nuno is expected to join the attack, possibly benching Vegetti.

David (suspended), Jair, and Adson (injured) are the absentees. The probable Vasco lineup is: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Carlos Cuesta, Robert Renan, Lucas Piton; Barros (Hugo Moura), Tchê Tchê, Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira, and Rayan.
