Although in doubt, Arrascaeta should start the classic among the starters.

In this classic worth millions, Mais Querido tries to maintain its current and historical record against its rival, in the last 10 games the red-black team has won 8 games, lost and drawn only 1.

In total there are 422 games with 164 victories for the Rossoneri, 139 victories for Vasco and 119 draws. In the current retrospective, Mais Querido is ahead and maintains 6 games of unbeaten against its rival from Rio, the last game was the duel of the first round with a 6-1 defeat against Flamengo.

Soon for the classic, Tite will have several absences again such as Michael, Pedro, Vinã and Cebolinha, the last three will play again only next year. In addition, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta are doubtful for the duel, but Arrasca should start and De La Cruz should start from the bench. But the coach must count on a great reinforcement who should make his debut, the left back Alex Sandro should start in the 11.

In an attempt to maintain his undefeated record against his biggest rival, Tite must take to the field with the following lineup:

Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno and Leo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Léo Ortiz, Pulgar, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique. Coach: Tite.
