It's ground zero in Carioca 1 - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Vasco da Gama and Bangu did in their pre-season friendlies!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
Stress levels are on the rise for Vasco da Gama's attacking players as they have now played 210 minutes without scoring in a league game. Yan Sasse was their last goal scorer.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Vasco da Gama, as the Carioca 1 home game vs Flamengo is only three days away.
Disaster struck Vasco da Gama last season as they could not defend their status as a Serie A team. With 13 defeats from 38 games, and only 12 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Vasco da Gama are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W7 D6 L6.
Bangu form and stats
Bangu has another fixture away, a Carioca 1 game, against Resende in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Last season was a triumph for Bangu in the national league as they took home the Carioca 1 trophy. The championship was secured after 5 wins, 0 draws and only 1 defeat. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 3, drew 0 and lost 0.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 7 - 0 - 3 (Vasco da Gama wins - draws - Bangu wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
