Vasco da Gama form and stats

4-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Vasco da Gama so far this season.

Vasco da Gama manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Avaí (placed 19th) in the Serie A. Ahead of that match, Vasco da Gama lost 0-1 at home to Santos.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Vasco da Gama matches with similar probabilities have ended with 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat (from two games).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Vasco da Gama as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Botafogo are visiting.

Vasco da Gama has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. On the other hand, Vasco da Gama have conceded 14 goals.

Fortaleza form and stats

There's been little loot from Fortaleza's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Serie A. Fortaleza only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Fortaleza have lost on their last two travels.

Fortaleza won their last game, 2-0 versus Chapecoense played at home. Prior to that match, the Fortaleza manager Rogério Ceni faced defeat when travelling to São Paulo and losing 1-2.

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 Fortaleza playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 1 home win.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Flamengo in just three days.

Fortaleza have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Fortaleza have conceded 23 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
