Internacional have 11 points playing as the hosts. Vasco da Gama have brought back 6 points playing the role of visitors. Could we look at anything else than a home win?

Insights:
  • Internacional have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in Serie A
  • Vasco da Gama have the most conceded goals in the first half (11) in Serie A

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Internacional have less rest than Vasco da Gama in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Libertadores game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Nacional.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Vasco da Gama who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Coritiba was the last time a defeat was avoided.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Flamengo with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Carvalho got a match rating of 7.14 in that game, top player of the team. Carvalho hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fortaleza wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Vasco are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

Vasco da Gama have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. Vasco da Gama's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings featuring these sides: Internacional won five, Vasco da Gama were winners in three and we saw two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.
