Rio de Janeiro, Brasil – Dis na Sunday, wey dem go see Vasco clash with Vitória for São Januário at 4 PM Brazilian time (16h). Dis na match wey dey part of di 27th round of di Brazilian Série A. Both teams no wan carry last, especially Vasco wey don receive dem own share of wahala after dem lose last game against Palmeiras. Chai!
As e be, Vasco dey come from one big loss wey dey pain dem after dem lose 3-0 to Palmeiras last week (wetin dem go do?). Dis wahala don make dem dey struggle to stay far away from di relegation zone wey dey hot like fire. Right now dem dey inside di 12th position with 30 points, but make dem no relax, because di battle no don end.
On di other hand, wey be Vitória, dem fit smile small. Di rubro-negro just win after dem beat Ceará for di last game and dis one don give dem small ginger. But dem still dey for di 17th position, just three points away from Santos wey dey try escape from di relegation zone as well. If dem fit win dis one, e go mean say dem don start to turn dem fortune around.
Fernando Diniz, di Vasco coach get small kasala as Carlos Cuesta wey dey injure fit no play for dis match. If Cuesta no fit play, dem go use Hugo Moura as zaga to cover am. But on di bright side, Barros dey back after suspension and he go join Tchê Tchê for midfield. How concerning e go be if dem no fit secure victory at home?
As for di expected line-up for Vasco, e go be like dis: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Hugo Moura, Robert Renan, Puma Rodríguez; Barros, Tchê Tchê; Coutinho, Nuno Moreira, Rayan, and Vegetti. Dem go really need to perform for this match, nobody wan go face di fans after dem lose last game.
Di coach for Vitória, Jair Ventura, go adjust di squad as Ramon go miss out due to suspension, and e no too get many players for am. Maykon Jesus wey no don play since August go take di place of Ramon. Di squad as expected go be: Lucas Arcanjo; Lucas Halter, Camutanga, Zé Marcos; Raúl Cáceres, Baralhas, Ronald Lopes, Cantalapiedra, and Maykon; along with Erick and Renato Kayzer. E be potential ‘match of di day’ because both teams dey feel di heat.
As dis match dey approach, make we ready to see wahala and di unexpected. Na so football dey do am. Fans dey high and expectations dey for ground. But one thing we sabi, dem no wan fall hand for dis game.
