With their 17 point advantage in the league table, Vasco da Gama fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Chapecoense.

It's no vacation for neither Vasco da Gama nor Chapecoense as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Vasco da Gama are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Chapecoense are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
