Team News

Ceara
Vasco da Gama
  • It's one in, one out in the Ceará attack this weekend.
  • Calyson is back from a ban, but Leandro Carvalho is now suspended.
  • There could also be a return to a back four, now that their top-flight status is secured.
  • Left-back Henrique has been ruled out with a thigh issue.
  • Willian Maranhão is expected to slot into the back four here.
  • Leandro Desábato has been passed fit to play after a knock.

Prediction

  • You'd have got cracking odds on Ceará escaping the drop back in June or July, but they've managed to secure their Série A status with a round to go.
  • That is a spectacular achievement, and much of the credit must go to coach 'Crazy' Lisca, who has whipped a moderate squad into shape.
  • Vasco da Gama will be pleased that their hosts are out of trouble: they need a result here to guarantee their own place in the top flight.
