Vasco Team News
In the previous round of the strongest Brazilian competition, Vasco lost at home to Cruzeiro with a score of 0-1. The only goal in the match was scored by the visiting team in injury time of the first half, and after that goal, the home team failed to equalize the score.
Currently, they are in the 19th position on the table with only nine points earned, four points behind Bahia, who is outside the relegation zone. In their last nine league matches, they managed to secure only one victory and suffered eight defeats.
As many as three players could be unavailable for Vasco da Gama this weekend, including Riquelme, who is recovering from a sprained ACL, Gabriel Dias has a sore tendon, and Cauan Barros is dealing with a meniscus injury.
Their last goal scored came courtesy of Jair as he converted a penalty in the 77th minute to give his side a 1-0 victory over Cuiaba. This goal tied him with Pedro Raul and Gabriel Pec for the most team goals this season (two), while Leo Jardim made three saves to collect the clean sheet. Alex Teixeira leads the team with three assists in 2023, while Figueiredo is still seeking his first assist of the campaign after netting four times in 2022.

In their last competitive league match at home, Athletico-PR defeated Bahia with a score of 2:0. They took the lead in the 24th minute when Khellven assisted Victor Roque, who placed the ball into the net. Eleven minutes later, they managed to double their advantage through Erick. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match.
Currently, they occupy the 8th position on the table with 23 points, just two points behind the 4th-placed Sao Paulo. In the cup, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Flamengo with an aggregate score of 1:4. In the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, they finished in first place, and in the round of 16, they will face Bolivar. In their last seven matches in all competitions, they achieved three wins, three losses, and one draw.
Athletico Paranaense will be without Fernando for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL, Romulo is recovering from an undisclosed problem, Pedro Henrique has a broken ankle, and Alex Santana is still sidelined with a foot injury.
Vitor Roque scored the winning goal against Bahia last weekend, taking his tally to eight goals this year, putting him in second place on the top scorers’ list, just two goals behind Tiquinho of Botafogo, who is in first place. Erick scored his second goal of the season, while Bento made six saves and secured his fifth clean sheet of the season.

Vasco vs Athletico-PR Prediction
Due to the better position on the table, form, and head-to-head results, anything other than an away team victory would be a real surprise. However, Vasco has the advantage of playing at home, so we cannot confidently predict a “clean two” (away team wins). Therefore, we believe that this match will end in a draw or with a victory for Athletico, with a maximum of three goals being scored in the game.
