A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The São Paulo fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Vasco da Gama's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for São Paulo and Vasco da Gama.
São Paulo form and stats
21 points is a decent return from 9 Serie A games here at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo for São Paulo. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. São Paulo haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Atletico Mineiro, 79 days ago.
The Paulo supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Flamengo in Copa do Brasil and win 3-0. Before that match, a Serie A win away at Fortaleza.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Paulo as they are travelling to their away game against Ceara in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
The São Paulo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 9 league matches. From these home matches, São Paulo have conceded only 5 goals.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Vasco da Gama playing as the away team in the Serie A this season.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Vasco goalkeeper Fernando Miguel Kaufmann is eager to challenge this, with his 197 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Vasco's last game was the home draw against Fortaleza (0-0). Preceding that game was the away victory against Sport Recife with the score of 2-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vasco manager R. Andrade Silva Sá Pinto as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Defensa y Justicia.
Vasco are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Vasco da Gama have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
