10. Vasco da Gama (16) vs Guarani SP (13)
A draw is likely with two sides just too close

TEAM NEWS

Vasco da Gama just managed to draw 1-1 at Botafogo, and only have 5 points with a win and two draws.

Though being near the bottom of the table, they have been getting better.

Midfielder Jefferson had completed his 2-month healing rest before he came back last game. His form is decent, and should start again.

Guarani SP surprised everyone by drawing 0-0 with Sao Paulo, their third in 5 games.

Coach Vagner Mancini substituted out striker Fabinho during the game last round, and the player walked directly into the changing room. Mancini criticized Fabinho for unprofessional act.

Key players Roger, Renan, and Mazola couldn’t go against Sao Paulo last round due to contractual restrictions. They certainly will start against Vasco da Gama.
