Only a few days to rest for the hosts, as they performed in a Carioca Serie A match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Flamengo.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

Vasco da Gama have played 5 Carioca Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Vasco da Gama, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

A good away victory last time out for Vasco da Gama, who won 1-0 against Flamengo (placed 1st).

Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against Boavista.

Bangu form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Carioca Serie A. Recent form does not give Bangu much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Vasco da Gama will be a tough nut to crack.

The attacking players of Bangu have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 295 minutes.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Fluminense with 0-5 on the scoreboard. Bangu lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

A loss against Volta Redonda was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Bangu are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 8 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 1 win, 3 draws and 4 defeats. Of the defeats, 2 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Take note: 8 of the latest 10 league games featuring this side have seen only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).

The attacking power of Bangu when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Vasco have put together a sequence of 5 consecutive matches without losing (4-1-0) when playing Bangu.

Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
