Insights:

Vasco da Gama form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Vasco da Gama are 3-3-5 (wins-draw-losses). With seven home Serie A games in a row without a win, the Vasco da Gama fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Athletico PR game long ago, can be stopped today.

Vasco faced defeat in their previous match, away at Grêmio (0-4). Preceding that match was a Copa Sudamericana defeat to Defensa y Justicia (0-1).

Vasco were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Vasco aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama in the league, with only 10 goals from 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Vasco have conceded 13 goals.

Fluminense form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Fluminense go into this game after a win, the home game against Athletico PR that ended 3-1. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Bragantino.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fluminense manager O. Hellmann as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Atletico GO.

Fluminense are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 11 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Fluminense have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Fluminense - Vasco da Gama 2-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Vasco, three draws and two wins for Fluminense. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
