Mineiro, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Fortaleza in the league. Marinho broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 15th minute. Fausto Vieira equalized three minutes into the second half. Fortaleza were then reduced to nine men after red cards to Marinho and Tinga.

Vasco da Gama vs Atletico Mineiro Prediction

Vasco da Gama have their work cut out if they are to advance to the final of the cup. Rafael Paiva's side have not won a game since the start of September and have their work cut out for them.

Atletico Mineiro are in the driving seat in the tie and are also the more in-form side. They have lost just one of their last seven games across competitions (four wins).

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
