📋 Vasco line-up set to chase quarter-final spot in the Cariocão | OneFootball

Vasco takes the field this Monday (2nd), at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), when they face Madureira at São Januário, wrapping up the fifth round of the 2026 Cariocão.

With four points and in fourth place in Group A, the Gigante da Colina qualifies for the quarterfinals with a win.

This is because Sampaio Corrêa is in fifth place with seven points and, even if they beat Flamengo in the last round, the goal difference is unlikely to be overturned (+4 vs -1).

The Tricolor Suburbano, in turn, is in third place in Group B with six points and also qualifies with a win, since Flamengo is in fifth place with four points.

Compared to the last match (2-1 for Mirassol, in the Brasileirão debut), coach Fernando Diniz opted for Hugo Moura, Tchê Tchê, and Brenner (debut) to start in place of Cuesta, Thiago Mendes, and Coutinho, respectively, for Vasco.
