Vasco to shake up starting line-up against Juventude | OneFootball

Vasco will make changes to the starting lineup for the match against Juventude this Saturday (8) at 6 PM (Brasília time), at São Januário, for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Suspended in the 3-0 defeat to Botafogo, Paulo Henrique and Nuno Moreira are back and will reclaim their spots in the team. Both are considered key players in Fernando Diniz's scheme and were greatly missed in the last match.

In great form, Paulo Henrique has been called up again for the Brazilian National Team. The right-back has been one of the team's pillars, providing tactical balance, defensive strength, and speed in offensive transitions — a true escape valve in Vasco's playing model.

Meanwhile, Nuno Moreira, the Portuguese left-winger, is one of Vasco's most important players from a tactical standpoint. Although he plays wide, he actively participates in playmaking, functioning as a midfielder in offensive organization. In defense, he also plays a crucial role in marking on the left side.

With their returns, Vasco is expected to field: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan, and Lucas Piton; Barros, Tchê Tchê, and Philippe Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira, and Rayan.
