Vasco da Gama host Barracas Central in Group G of the Copa Sudamericana, with both clubs needing points to shape their continental fate.
Vasco arrive at this fixture in poor form. Renato Gaucho's side have lost three of their last five matches, including a 3-0 hammering by Red Bull Bragantino in Serie A last weekend and a 3-1 Copa Sudamericana defeat to Olimpia earlier in May. The Brazilian club have slipped to second in Group G and need a result to stay in contention.
Barracas Central travel from Argentina in similarly troubled form. Ruben Dario Insua's side have not won in five matches, collecting two draws and suffering three defeats. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 loss to Audax Italiano in the Copa Sudamericana, and they sit bottom of the group.
The only previous meeting between these two clubs in the available record ended 0-0 in Buenos Aires in April, a result that did little for either side's ambitions. Vasco will be looking to use home advantage to break that deadlock and pull clear at the top.
For Barracas, the arithmetic is straightforward: they need to start winning or their Copa Sudamericana campaign is effectively over. A draw is unlikely to satisfy either dressing room.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- R. Gaucho
- R. Insua
Vasco da Gama are managed by Renato Gaucho, but no confirmed injury or suspension information is currently available for the hosts ahead of this fixture. No probable starting XI has been released at this stage.
Barracas Central head coach Ruben Dario Insua is also without a confirmed squad list, with no injuries, suspensions, or projected lineup announced. Updates will be added closer to kick-off as both clubs release official team news.
Form
Vasco da Gama have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 0-3 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino in Serie A on May 24, and they also lost 3-1 to Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana earlier in the month. A 1-0 win over Athletico Paranaense in the league represents their only victory in that run. Vasco have scored seven goals and conceded nine across those five matches, a return that points to a side struggling for defensive solidity.
Barracas Central have not won in five matches, drawing two and losing three. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 defeat to Audax Italiano in the Copa Sudamericana on May 19, and they also lost 1-2 to Olimpia in the same competition earlier in May. A 1-1 draw with Audax Italiano and a 1-1 draw with Racing Club in the Liga Profesional are the only points they have collected across that sequence. Barracas have scored five goals and conceded seven, reflecting a side that has found goals difficult to come by.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs have met once in the available record. That encounter took place on April 7, 2026, when Barracas Central hosted Vasco da Gama in the Copa Sudamericana group stage and the match ended 0-0. That stalemate is the only data point available, meaning neither side has yet managed to beat the other in this competition.
Standings
In Group G of the Copa Sudamericana, Vasco da Gama sit second and Barracas Central fourth.
