Forced changes at Vasco

Coach Fernando Diniz has two definite absences due to suspension. Right-back Paulo Henrique and forward Nuno Moreira received their third yellow card. Therefore, they cannot play in tonight's decisive classic.

In defense, the substitute is already set. Puma Rodríguez will take the spot at right-back. The rest of the defensive sector should remain the same, with Léo Jardim, Cuesta, Robert Renan, and Piton forming the back four.

Attack features competition and a reunion in the Cup

The midfield should include Cauan Barros, Tchê Tchê, and Coutinho. In attack, the tendency is for Gomez and Rayan to play. The last reference spot is between Vegetti and Matheus França.

The classic is a rematch of this year’s Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. On that occasion, Vasco came out on top. Diniz’s team eliminated Botafogo on penalties, after two 1-1 draws at the same Nilton Santos.
