Vasco da Gama get ready to welcome Goiás for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Carioca 1 match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Volta Redonda.
Goiás have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa do Brasil for Vasco da Gama, as the manager A. da Silva Braga led his troops to eliminate ABC and Altos, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Vasco da Gama's Copa do Brasil journey ended in the 4th round.We have seen two home losses in a row now for Vasco da Gama, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Vasco da Gama travelled for their previous game, a trip to Volta Redonda that ended 0-0. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against ABC.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Vasco da Gama as they have a new game in only three days, a Carioca 1 match thankfully also at home. Fluminense are visiting.
Goiás form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Fast Clube and Santo Andre in order to reach 3rd Round of Copa do Brasil. Goiás was sent out of Copa do Brasil in the 2nd round last season.The story so far for the visiting team on their Goiano 1 travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Goiás goalkeeper Tadeu Antonio Ferreira is eager to challenge this, with his 227 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Goiás had fun at their own home (Estádio João Francisco dos Santos) last time out, beating Ipora 1-0. Mike scored. Preceding that game was the away Copa do Brasil victory against Santo Andre with the score of 2-0.
Goiás has another fixture away, a Goiano 1 game, against Aparecidense in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Goiás in these games.
