Goiás bring their bags for Vasco da Gama and Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho loaded with hope and confidence, but the home side is not easy meat. More news on the match here!
- Vasco da Gama haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Goiás have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in Serie B
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Goiás have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
Vasco da Gama have played 13 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Vasco enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Brusque's place. The match ended 1-0 with Nenê scoring. Vanderlei loved the game against Brusque. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 1-0 victory. Vasco made it very difficult for themselves, when Léo Matos got a red card in the 44th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Vasco da Gama won the match 1-0! Vanderlei, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.64 out of 10 in that game. Vanderlei stopped the opponent with six saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
In the match before that, Vasco hosted Cruzeiro and drew the game 1-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Vasco da Gama have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn one and lost three.
Vasco da Gama has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. From these home matches, Vasco have conceded only 11 goals.
Goiás form and stats
5-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Goiás in their Serie B matches away.
Goiás might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vila Nova proved too strong as Goiás slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro. Midfielder Fellipe Bastos was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.74. Bastos hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 41 successful passes (of 50 total).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Avai wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Goiás are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Goiás as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Goiás as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
