Game week two of the Carioca U20 season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Volta Redonda U20 - Vasco U20 preview:
It's no vacation for neither Redonda nor Vasco U20 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Volta Redonda U20 form and stats
Redonda has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Redonda shared the glory with Nova Iguacu U20 in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Macae U20 (2-3).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Resende U20 are coming to town in four days.
Last season, Volta Redonda U20's league statistics were 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Carioca U20. Over these eight matches they scored 6 goals and conceded 6. Playing at home last season Volta Redonda U20 managed 1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) with 2 goals and 1 conceded.
Vasco U20 form and stats
Three has not been a lucky number for Vasco as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Madureira U20 match. Vasco seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for Vasco U20, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Chapecoense-SC U20. A 2-3 loss hosting Resende U20 before that.
Late heartbreak for Vasco U20 in the Chapecoense-SC U20 match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vasco manager as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Moto Club MA U20.
Let's have a look at how Vasco U20 performed last season in the Brasileiro U20: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 5 and conceded 8 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 1 and lost 2 with 1/3 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Volta Redonda U20 zero wins, one draw and Vasco U20 one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Volta Redonda U20 missing players
