Vasco got their first Serie A win against Internacional on Friday and will be boosted here. They will look to escape the relegation zone before the Copa America break.
Ceará head into Thursday on a two-match winless run at home and their levels of confidence are expected to be low.
The hosts will have had an extra day's rest to prepare for this match and could take advantage to get the three points here.
