CRB's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Goias (placed 2nd). Caetano, defender, was given a rating of 7.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Caetano won 2 of 2 duels.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how CRB have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost two.

CRB are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games.

CRB are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Universitário da UFAL in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 11 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Vasco da Gama form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vasco da Gama so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Vasco da Gama are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Two away games in a row for Vasco, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Avai in the Serie B. Midfield player Morato was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.8/10. Morato scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Brasil de Pelotas.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Vasco da Gama in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Vasco, two draws and six defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Vasco are hosting Cruzeiro in the Serie B only three days away.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Vasco da Gama's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
