Overview
- Paulo Henrique is doubtful after a hip knock suffered against São Paulo at the weekend and Puma Rodríguez is the expected replacement if the defender fails a final fitness test before Tuesday's kickoff.
- Andrés Gómez is suspended for the second leg so Marino Hinestroza is set to start in attack after 31 appearances this season without a goal.
- Vasco holds a 1-0 lead from the first leg at La Bombonera and advances with a draw, a one-goal loss would send the tie to penalties and a defeat by two or more goals would eliminate the club.
- Reports conflict on the venue with Terra naming São Januário and O Globo citing a court decision that cleared the Maracanã for the match, which O Globo says is projected to sell about 60,000 tickets.
- The selection between Paulo Henrique and Puma matters because Paulo was a defensive standout in the first leg while Puma brings seven goals and seven assists this season but has shown defensive lapses, a trade-off that could change how Vasco protects its aggregate lead.
