Vitoria will not be able to count on two important players in the first official match of the year 2023. Striker Rafinha and defensive midfielder Leo Gomes were vetoed by the medical department of the red-black and will not face Cordino / MA.
The duo had already been left out of the friendly against Atletico de Alagoinhas before the turn of the year. And, without being able to fully recover, they will not be able to play the decisive game against the team from Maranhao in the preliminary phase of the Copa do Nordeste.
The tendency is for Joao Pedro and Osvaldo to occupy the vacancies. A likely starting lineup will feature: Dalton; Railan, Camutanga, Marco Antonio and Joao Lucas; Joao Pedro, Rodrigo Andrade and Diego Torres; Gegê, Osvaldo and Trellez.
Vitoria and Cordino/MA face each other on Thursday (5), at 7:30 pm, in Barradao.
