Brazil Cup 2025/2026: Botafogo-Vasco da Gama, likely lineups

Botafogo-Vasco da Gama is a match valid for the return leg of the Brazil Cup quarterfinals: kickoff is set for 2:30 a.m. Italian time. The first leg match ended in a draw, 1-1, and everything is still in the balance: whoever wins will take on Fluminense in the semifinals.

Different doubts for Davide Ancelotti, who will have to do without fullback Vitinho, while Savarino should make it. In attack, Arthur Cabral is the frontrunner.

Nuno Moreira-Rayan-Vegetti trident for Vasco, Coutinho in midfield with Tche Tche and Barros.
