Atlético GO came off a 3-1 defeat to Palmeiras and are already on a seven-game winless streak. Dragão are 19th with just 11 points and can no longer leave the relegation zone in a single round – they are four points behind Vitoria, the first club to leave the relegation zone. The red and blacks, who have yet to win at home in this Serie A, are looking for their first win under coach Vagner Mancini.
Vasco are looking to make it four wins in a row, something the club haven’t managed in the Brazilian league since 2012. They have already won against Fortaleza, Inter and Corinthians and will now have three away games – after Atletico-GO, they will face Atletico MG and Gremio. The Vasco native was expected to make his debut, but the midfielder did not travel to Goiania.

Potential expansions
Atletico-GO – Coach: Wagner Mancini
The Dragão will see the return of top scorer Luiz Fernando who returns after serving a suspension. In addition, reinforcements Gunderson and Hurtado are expected to make their debuts. In defence, Luiz Felipe is likely to replace Alex Vinicius, who has not trained in recent days due to dental treatment. Bruno Tubarão felt pain in his thigh and made way for Maguino at right-back.
Possible Atletico-GO lineup: Ronaldo; Magueño, Adriano Martins, Luiz Felipe and Romao; Cal, Raldini and Shaylon; Gunderson, Hurtado and Luiz Fernando
Absences: Bruno Tubarao (thigh pain), Alex Vinicius (dental treatment), Pedro Henrique (physical transfer).
Commentators: Luiz Felipe, Pedro Henrique, Maguinho, Bruno Tubarao, Raldini, Rooney, Shaylon, Alejo Cruz and Max
Vasco – Coach: Rafael Paiva
Vasco’s doubtful line-up is Edson, who has a swollen thigh and will be assessed before the game – JP and Ryan are options if the striker does not play. Interim Rafael Paiva will still be unable to count on Coutinho and Payet, who have remained in Rio de Janeiro to improve their fitness.
Vasco’s probable lineup: Leo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Maicon, Leo, Lucas Bitton, Hugo Moura, Matheus Cocau, Praxedes, Edson (GPO Ryan), David and Veghetti.
Absences: Paulinho, Jair, Joao Victor and Estrella (medical department); Payet, Coutinho, Souza and Alex Teixeira (physical improvement).
Commentators: Joao Victor, Paulo Henrique, Victor Luis, Praxedes and Rossi.
