Insights:
  • Vasco da Gama have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Náutico have the most conceded goals (40) in Serie B

These teams have little in common geographically as Náutico have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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.

Náutico form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Náutico so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-10 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

201 minutes! That's how long the Náutico goalkeeper Jean de Melo Pereira and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Náutico are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Vasco da Gama (placed 4th).

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Brusque.

Look out: 8 of the last 10 league matches involving this club have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

Náutico are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 14 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Náutico rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Náutico - Vasco da Gama 2-3 was the end result in these participants' previous head to head game, played this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Vasco da Gama victories, three draws and one Náutico win. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
