Player to watch: Pablo Vegetti

Although he failed to get on the scoresheet when these teams met in the first leg, Pablo Vegetti has been Vasco da Gama's top scorer across all competitions this season. Interestingly, Vegetti's last goal came in late August, against Athletico Paranaense. He has failed to score in two matches since then, and will look to get back to scoring ways in the second leg of this tie.
