Goiás are hosting Vasco da Gama for yet another important fixture after their 3-5 result against 8th-placed Fluminense.

Insights:
  • Goiás have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Vasco da Gama have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Vasco da Gama have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Goiás form and stats

Goiás have collected 18 points from their Serie A home games so far after 4-6-4.

The fans are hoping that Goiás will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 3-5 away loss in the game against Fluminense (placed 8th). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Fluminense) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-5. The versatile forward Palacios edged out all teammates in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.64 out of 10. Palacios scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Cuiabá that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Goiás perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Goiás as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Goiás has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this team's last 15 league matches, 13 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Bragantino in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro.

The Goiás fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Goiás's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

Vasco da Gama have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-4-8 (14 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Vasco have lost on their last two travels.

Vasco da Gama failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Internacional (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Piton, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.32. Piton hit two key passes and won 5 of 8 duels.

A 0-1 defeat away at Flamengo before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vasco da Gama playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Vasco wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Vasco da Gama have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Serie A fixture versus Cuiabá. A strenuous schedule for the visiting team!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vasco as they have only managed to score 12 times from 14 away games in the league. Vasco da Gama's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.
