📋 Vasco line up to host Mirassol in the opening match of round 37

Vasco takes the field this Tuesday (2nd) to host Mirassol at São Januário at 7 PM (Brasília time), for the "opening" of the 37th round of the Brasileirão.

Atlético-MG and Palmeiras have already opened the round in advance, with defeats of 2-0 to RB Bragantino and a 0-0 draw with Vitória, respectively, due to their commitments in the continental tournaments that ended in November.

The Gigante da Colina occupies the 11th place with 45 points and still has a chance to qualify for the Libertadores next year if they finish the Brasileirão in the eighth position.

But for that to happen, Cruzeiro or Fluminense need to win the Copa do Brasil, a tournament in which the Carioca team is in the semifinals and will face the tricolor rival on December 11 and 14.

Meanwhile, the Leão Paulista is in fourth place with 63 points and is already qualified for the Libertadores, needing just one point in the final two rounds to secure a direct spot in the group stage.

Coach Fernando Diniz is likely to maintain exactly the same starting lineup that initiated the 5-1 thrashing of Internacional in the last round.

Mirassol comes from a 2-0 defeat to Vitória, seeking recovery in the championship, and coach Rafael Guanaes chose to place Jemmes, Neto Moura, Shaylon, and Renato Marques in the spots of Luiz Otávio, José Aldo, Gabriel, and Carlos Eduardo, respectively.
