A new Serie A adventure is about to start and this is the first proper fixture for Atlético Mineiro and Vasco da Gama. Let's get started!

These are full days for the host team, as they played only three days ago in the Copa do Brasil. This match was also played here at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Vasco da Gama have had more rest.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

A job perfectly done for Vasco da Gama last season as they secured promotion from Carioca 1. With a grand total of 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 3 were in away matches.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vasco da Gama playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 3 home wins.

Just as the home team, Vasco have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 1 Vasco da Gama win, 0 draws and 1 loss.

Head 2 Head

Atlético Mineiro-Vasco da Gama H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Atlético Mineiro four wins, Vasco da Gama four wins, two draws. eight of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
