Vasco da Gama form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vasco da Gama so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Vasco has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Vasco, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Athletico PR (placed 11th). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Santos.

A quick return to home after this game, as Vasco are hosting Botafogo in the Serie A only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Vasco have scored 14 goals in 13 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Vasco da Gama struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.
