Vasco line up with changes for their Brasileirão opener | OneFootball

Mirassol and Vasco face off this Thursday (29th) at 8 PM (Brasília time) at the José Maria de Campos Maia Stadium, known as Maião, for the opening round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The match concludes the first round of the competition.

The sensation of the last Brasileirão, Mirassol arrives on a high after finishing last season in fourth place and securing a direct spot in the Libertadores — a qualification achieved precisely with a victory over Vasco in the penultimate round. In the Paulista Championship, the team underwent a restructuring, started irregularly, but is coming off a 4-0 win over São Bernardo away from home.

Vasco, on the other hand, started 2026 with a solid performance in the Carioca Championship, with two wins, one draw, and one loss. Fernando Diniz's team maintains the offensive pattern that led the club to the runner-up position in the 2025 Copa do Brasil, but is still seeking greater defensive consistency.
