Vasco da Gama are flying at 4th, while Bangu are loitering 7 points behind in the standings. Can they cut the gap?
- Vasco da Gama have the most scored goals in the first half (6) in Carioca Serie A
- Vasco da Gama have scored more than double the goals of Bangu.
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning added stress and importance.
Vasco have less rest than Bangu in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Carioca Serie A game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Botafogo, was also a home game here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama. The away team is better rested.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Vasco da Gama have to build on here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama in the Carioca Serie A.
Vasco da Gama's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Botafogo (placed 3rd).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Portuguesa RJ in a game that was won 1-0.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vasco da Gama as they are travelling to their away game against Audax Rio in the Carioca Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
The Vasco fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches.
Bangu form and stats
Bangu are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Carioca Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bangu have lost on their last two travels.
The attacking players of Bangu have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 270 minutes. The Bangu goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 244 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
There were no winners in Bangu's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Resende (placed 10th).
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Madureira.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Carioca Serie A trip to Nova Iguaçu.
Goals are few and far between in Bangu's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels.
