Vasco da Gama have travelled here for an action-packed game against the hosting CRB. Prepare for the match with this thorough Serie B preview!

Vasco da Gama have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither CRB nor Vasco da Gama as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

CRB form and stats

The season before, CRB's league stats were 16 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses, resulting in 7th position in the Serie B. Over these 38 matches they scored 47 goals and gave away 39. Performing as the host team in the former season CRB delivered 8-9-2 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 17 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with CRB perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with CRB as a small favourite), we find nine games. CRB has won one of these, drawn seven and lost one.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

Let's have a look at how Vasco da Gama performed last season in the Carioca 1: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. In total they scored 19 and conceded 11 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 0 and lost 2 with 9/7 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vasco da Gama playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Vasco da Gama win, four draws and five defeats.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: one - two - three (CRB wins - draws - Vasco da Gama wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
