Vasco at full strength for Olimpia decider in Paraguay, line-ups and how to watch | OneFootball

Vasco visit Olimpia at Defensores del Chaco in Asunción on Thursday at 19:00 Brasília time in the Copa Sudamericana last 16 second leg. The first leg ended 0-0 at São Januário. Any win sends Vasco through, while a draw would take the tie to penalties.

According to PaponaColina, Pedro Emanuel plans to field his strongest available side. The final XI will be set only hours before kick-off after individual checks at the team hotel. Players with significant muscle fatigue may be managed.

Jair has a right adductor injury and is out for about one month. Saldivia stayed in Rio de Janeiro amid advanced talks over a move abroad, and Rojas is sidelined with thigh oedema. New signings Facundo Colidio and Santiago Sosa travelled to train, but were not registered for this phase and cannot play.

Barros is set to anchor midfield, freeing Thiago Mendes and Tchê Tchê to step forward. Spinelli leads the line, with Nuno Moreira on the left and Adson or Andrés Gómez on the right. At right-back it is Puma Rodríguez or Paulo Henrique, with Cuiabano on the left.

The Uruguayan Esteban Ostojich referees, assisted by Carlos Barreiro and Héctor Bergalo, with Antonio Garcia, also from Uruguay, on VAR. The match will be shown live and exclusively in Brazil on Paramount+ from 19:00.
