The Carioca 1 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Vasco da Gama and Madureira are placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
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.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Vasco da Gama's two home games in the Carioca 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama.
A nice win for Vasco last time playing, versus Macaé. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Fluminense that was lost 0-2.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Vasco, as the Serie A home game vs Bragantino is only one day away.
Vasco da Gama has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Madureira form and stats
Madureira, who have the most conceded goals (8) in Carioca 1, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Carioca 1, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Carioca 1 home defeat versus Resende with 0-2 on the scoreboard. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Volta Redonda.
4 goals so far away for Madureira, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: eight wins for Vasco, one draw and one win for Madureira. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
