Vasco comes from a 2-0 defeat to Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca and will not have Léo Matos, suspended, in addition to Matías Galarza and Matheus Nunes, who did not travel with the group due to the bad technical phase.
Ferroviária, owned by coach Elano Blumer, was defeated 3-1 by Ituano in the last round of the Campeonato Paulista. Locomotiva has 10 points and occupies third place in Group B, just two points away from the relegation zone of Paulistão. On the national scene, Ferroviária competes in the C Series Brasileirão.
