Diniz hints at Vasco line-up to face Ceará, Sunday’s opponents | OneFootball

Vasco returned to training after qualifying for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The Cruzmaltinos will host Ceará this Sunday at São Januário, for the Brazilian Championship.

For this match, coach Fernando Diniz will have to make changes to the team. The first will be in defense, as Hugo Moura is suspended. With that, Robert Renan and Carlos Cuesta are competing for a spot alongside Lucas Freitas.

On the left flank, Lucas Piton left the field against Botafogo with an ankle problem and is now a doubt. Diniz may improvise with Puma Rodríguez or start Victor Luís. In midfield, with Jair and Tchê Tchê out injured, Mateus Carvalho is the favorite to partner with Barros in the holding role.

Probable Lineup

Thus, Vasco should take the field with the following formation: Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Robert Renan (Carlos Cuesta), Lucas Freitas, and Victor Luís (Puma Rodríguez); Barros, Mateus Carvalho, and Coutinho; Nuno Moreira, Rayan, and Vegetti.

With 22 points in 21 games, the Cruzmaltinos need a win to move away from the relegation zone in the Brazilian Championship.
