Another interesting game in the Serie B. Cruzeiro is in the 17th position after playing five matches. They welcome Vasco da Gama who are placed 10th after five games.
- Cruzeiro have yet to win a game at home.
- Vasco da Gama have not yet lost a game away.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
