- Vasco da Gama have the fewest matches under the total-line (10) in Serie B

Vila Nova form and stats
5 victories, 9 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Vila Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (9) at home in Serie B, have to build on here at Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga in the Serie B. Two draws in a row at home now for Vila.

Before that, Vila drew at home versus Guarani.This is expected to be a close game, with Vila Nova perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vila Nova as a small favourite), we find ten games. Vila Nova has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Vila Nova as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. Londrina are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Vila here at Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 17 games). Vila have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 8 goals.
Vasco da Gama form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vasco da Gama so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 4-5-8 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Vasco who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Náutico was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Vasco have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 340 minutes ago. G. Cano was the goal scorer.
Vasco da Gama might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vitoria proved too strong as Vasco da Gama slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco. Midfield player Andrey was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.0/10. Andrey hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 92 successful passes (of 100 total).
Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Botafogo.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Vasco da Gama in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Vasco, four draws and seven defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Vasco da Gama are hosting Remo in the Serie B only four days away.
