Palmeiras - Vasko de Gama
After first 10 games Verdao have terrible record 1-1-8 with goal difference 9:24. During this break they become stronger for one player: Marcinho Guerreiro came back from France, but he will not play today. Also new player is forward Rosembrick, newcomer from Santa Cruz, but he will not play also today. Good news for coach Tite side is that three players are back: goalkeeper Marcos, Juninho Paulista and Marcinho (last one will start game from the bench). All players and coach knows that this game is for them of great importance becouse if they want to go up in table they must start winning fast. Tite will play in 3-6-1 formation with Edmundo and Juninho on winger positions, so it's something like 3-4-3 formation.
Vasko de Gama have very important game in Brasilian cup in few days time, and there was some info that they will play with reserve squad in this game. Now coach Renato Gaúcho said that they will play with full squad, but I'm little sceptic about that. No way that Vasko have enough squad depth to cover 2 hard games in such a short period. So if they even play with full squad, I expect from them to be mentaly on the Brasilian Cup game.
Probable squads:
Palmeiras Marcos, Nen, Daniel e Alceu, Paulo Baier, Francis, Wendel, Edmundo, Juninho e Michael; Enílton. Técnico: Tite
Vasco Cássio; Wagner Diniz, Fábio Braz, Jorge Luiz e Diego; Andrade, Ives, Ramon e Morais; Valdiram e Edílson. Técnico: Renato Gaúcho
Big motivation and must win situation for veterans in Verdao side, on the other hand, pretty unimportant game for Vasko if we know that they have game of the year in few days time...
