Boca Juniors vs Vasco da Gama - prediction, team news, lineups

The iconic Bombonera will host the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals, with Boca Juniors welcoming Vasco da Gama on Tuesday night amid an impressive 17-game unbeaten run. Vasco have also gone six matches without defeat across all competitions, although their latest home performance did little to inspire confidence ahead of this crucial encounter. The first leg has not even taken place, but the spotlight is already on the return fixture. It remains unclear whether that match will be held at the Maracanã or another venue.
