Insights:
  • Vasco da Gama have the fewest matches under the total-line (10) in Serie B
  • Vitória have the fewest matches over the total-line (10) in Serie B

There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Serie B game only three days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Botafogo, was also a home game here at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco. The away team is better rested.

Vitória have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vitória are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Vitória form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vitória so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 2-9-6 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Vitória who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Vitória has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Avai for a Serie B game that ended a draw (1-1). The draw against Avai came from a losing position. The Vitória manager W. Lopes brought on Hítalo as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Midfielder Fernando Neto was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Neto hit one key pass and had 45 successful passes (of 56 total).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus CSA.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Vitória when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.

After this away game Vitória return home for a Serie B game against Cruzeiro. That game is only four sleeps after this.
