Team News

Vasco da Gama
Atletico GO
  • Milton Mendes is unlikely to make too many changes despite the loss to Botafogo.
  • Andrezinho, Wágner and Thalles are attacking options if he wants to switch things up.
  • Jean was passed fit for that midweek game after a knock and should be fine to play here.
  • Midfielder Igor missed out against Palmeiras and is a doubt again this weekend.
  • Jorginho could be restored in attacking midfield, with Luiz Fernando the man most likely to drop out.
  • New signing Diego Rosa came off the bench in midweek and is another attacking option.

Prediction

  • The midweek defeat to Botafogo was frustrating for Vasco, whose form is more up-and-down than a yo-yo in a lift.
  • The Gigante da Colina have now lost to all three of their Rio de Janeiro rivals this year – the first time that's happened since 2012.
  • But they should have enough about them to get the job done against fragile Atlético-GO, especially at São Januário.
