Vasco’s jewel, the striker has recovered from swelling in his right thigh and is confirmed for Sunday’s match in São Januário
Vasco will have a change to face São Paulo, Sunday (2), at 8.30pm (Brasilia time), in São Januário, for the 31st round of the Brazilian championship. Rayan returns to the team after recovering from swelling in his right thigh. The muscle problem took him out of the match against Red Bull Bragantino, which Cruz-Maltino won 3-0.
With Rayan’s return, Vegetti returns to the bench, also scoring two goals last Sunday. Pirata puts an end to an eight-game drought without scoring, the worst since he arrived at Vasco, regaining prestige, but not enough to regain his starting place.
This is because Vegetti is not fighting for position with Rayan, but with Andrés Gómez. It was the Colombian who joined the team in place of Pirata. With this, Rayan became the reference in the offensive command, giving more speed and mobility to Vasco’s attack. In this way Vasco beat Vitória, Fortaleza and Fluminense.
Vasco’s probable lineup includes Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan and Lucas Piton; Barros, Tchê Tchê and Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira and Rayan. Cruz-Maltino is in eighth place in the Brasileirão, with 42 points, five less than Botafogo, who are seventh, and this gives them a place in next year’s Copa Libertadores. Coach Fernando Diniz will lead yet another training session this Saturday, at CT Moacyr Barbosa, the last one before the match against San Paolo.
