Team News

Vasco da Gama
Cruzeiro
  • Breno, Talles Magno, Ramon, Henrique and Werley will miss out through injury, while Rossi is a doubt.
  • Danilo Barcelos and Castán will bring fresh legs to the back after serving a ban.
  • Raúl, on the other hand, is ruled out due to an accumulation of bookings, which will clear the way for Bruno César rato start in the middle of the park.
  • Dede and Rodriguinho remain injured and will not feature on Monday.
  • Abel Braga was sacked following the 1-0 defeat to CSA and will be replaced by Adílson Batista on the bench.
  • Thagio Neves missed a penalty on Thursday, but he should have the confidence of his new coach here.

Prediction

  • Vasco lost to São Paulo on Thursday which means that they will probably have to settle for a Copa Sudamericana spot next season.
  • Cruzeiro were unexpectedly defeated by CSA at home which have kept them at the relegation zone with a point behind safety. They will hope for a new manager bounce.
  • The visitors should seek for the win since the start while the hosts are expected to defend deep, waiting for every opportunity to counter. Given Cruzeiro's finishing crisis (scoreless in four of their last five matches), Vasco should be able to score in that context.
