Avaí have been busy practising for this after their 0-0 result versus Brusque, a fixture that produced some answers. What will happen against Vasco da Gama?

Insights:
  • Avaí haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Vasco da Gama have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Avaí and Vasco da Gama.

Vasco da Gama have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Avaí form and stats

5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Avaí so far this season.

Avaí are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 238 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by G. W. Silva Timoteo).

Avaí drew their last game, 0-0 away at Brusque (placed 13th). Alemão was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.45 out of 10. The defender Alemão won 7 of 7 duels. A painful moment in the game against Brusque was the missed penalty kick from Edílson in the 55th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Prior to that, an away loss at Vila Nova.

The Avaí fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Avaí have conceded only 9 goals.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

There's been little loot from Vasco da Gama's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Serie B. Vasco da Gama only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Vasco are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Vasco delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Brasil de Pelotas (placed 19th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Midfield player Andrey was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.42/10. Andrey hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 58 successful passes (of 72 total). As mentioned above, Vasco da Gama drew the match against Brasil de Pelotas. Manager L. Cirne Lima de Lorenzi brought on Daniel Amorim to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Ponte Preta.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vasco da Gama as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Vasco have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
