Serie A: We're expecting an engrossing and crucial scrap involving Vasco da Gama and Goiás at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama. This duo need points like a fish needs water!
- Vasco da Gama is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Goiás have yet to win a game away.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
Vasco da Gama have played 4 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Vasco da Gama with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Coritiba game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Vasco lost their last game at Internacional (placed 12th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The attacker Rayan was announced as "man of the match" for Vasco da Gama with a rating of 7.41/10. Rayan scored one goal.
Ahead of that match, Vasco da Gama lost 1-4 at home to Flamengo.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 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats (from 8 games).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cuiabá are coming to town in four days.
Vasco da Gama aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco in the league, with only {3 goals} from 4 games.
Goiás form and stats
The visitors are W0-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
Goiás delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Fluminense (placed 5th) in their previous match. The draw against Fluminense came from a losing position. The Goiás manager Freitas brought on Alesson as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Midfield player Apodi was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.44/10. Apodi dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Preceding that, 0-0 at home vs Gimnasia La Plata in the Copa Sudamericana. 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 Goiás playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 4 away wins, 3 draws and 0 home wins.
The schedule is very tough for Goiás now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Bragantino is waiting in only three days.
