Vasco da Gama form and stats

3-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Vasco da Gama so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Vasco with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bragantino game, 24 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Vasco faced defeat in their previous match, away at Internacional (0-2). Preceding that match was the home game against Flamengo that was lost 1-2.

Vasco has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Vasco da Gama are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.

Corinthians form and stats

There's been little loot from Corinthians's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Serie A. Corinthians only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Corinthians failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Flamengo (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-5. Preceding that game was the away victory against Athletico PR with the score of 1-0.

Corinthians lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The attacking power of Corinthians when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. 11 goals have been conceded by Corinthians in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's zero Vasco da Gama victories, four draws and six Corinthians wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
