📋 Vasco line-up confirmed for first test against CSA in the Copa do Brasil

It's Brazil Cup night at Rei Pelé.

CSA and Vasco play the first leg of the round of 16 in the competition.

The ball will roll from 7 PM (Brasília time) in Maceió.

Bringing together two teams going through turbulent times this season.

The return match will be next Thursday (7th), at São Januário. 

The winner will secure a prize of R$ 4.7 million.

History in the Brazil Cup 🆚

This will be the third encounter. And again in the round of 16.

In 1992, the Alagoas team eliminated the Cruz-Maltino after a 3 x 3 draw in Maceió and a 1 x 0 victory in SJ facing Edmundo, Valdir Bigode, and Roberto Dinamite.

In 2002, Vasco lost away by 2 x 1 but thrashed at the Historic Hill by 4 x 0 with goals from Romário (two), Euler, and Léo Lima.

CSA 🔵⚪

The Azulão from Mutange dispatched Boavista, Tuna Luso, and Grêmio to reach the round of 16.

The first goal is to repeat 1992 when they reached the quarterfinals.

The phase is not the best.

They reached the semifinals of the Copa do Nordeste but went on a series of five games without victories in Série C, which resulted in the departure of coach Higo Magalhães.

They are currently in ninth place, with 18 points. Floresta, with 20, is closing the G-8.

Márcio Fernandes was announced last Monday (28th).

Injured, defender Jackson is out. Suspended against Londrina, Enzo is likely to return to the left-back position.

The lineup has not yet been announced. 

Vasco 💢

The Cruz-Maltino reached the round of 16 after eliminating União Rondonópolis, Nova Iguaçu, and Operário.

They have five games without victories, including a fall in the round of 16 playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana. 

Fernando Diniz has Philippe Coutinho back, whose last game was against Botafogo on the 12th.

But he will not start. 

Léo Jardim still has back pain but will be the starter.

João Victor is back.
