Vasco will face Mirasol in San Januario at 7 pm (Brasilia time) this Tuesday (2nd), kicking off the 37th round of the Brazilian League.
Atlético-MG and Palmeiras have already started this round early thanks to their performances in the continental championship that ended in November, beating RB Bragantino 2-0 and drawing 0-0 with Vitoria respectively.

The Colina giants are in 11th place with 45 points and still have a chance of qualifying for next year’s Copa Libertadores if they finish the Copa do Brasil in eighth place.
But to achieve that, either Cruzeiro or Fluminense will need to win the Copa do Brasil, a tournament where Carioca will reach the semi-finals and face their tricolor rivals from December 11 to 14.
Leon Paulista, meanwhile, is fourth with 63 points and has already qualified for Libertadores, needing just one point from the last two rounds to advance directly to the group stage.
Head coach Fernando Diniz is likely to maintain the starting lineup that defeated Internazionale 5-1 in the previous round.
