Overview
- Kickoff is 21:30 at Arena do Grêmio with live coverage on TV Globo and Premiere, with Raphael Claus assigned as referee.
- The sides are close in midtable and both seek recovery after three winless matches, separated by two points entering the 34th round.
- GLOBO–UFMG’s Bola de Cristal gives Vasco a 37.4% chance to win versus 36% for Grêmio, with a draw at 26.6%.
- Vasco lacks Carlos Cuesta and Andrés Gómez with Colombia and Paulo Henrique with Brazil, while Puma Rodríguez rejoined from Uruguay and is expected to start at right back.
- Fernando Diniz may shift Hugo Moura into central defense and consider Thiago Mendes for a return in midfield, and a Vasco win would lift the team to eighth with 45 points.
