Vasco da Gama

LLLLWD

Last time out, Vasco da Gama drew 1-1 in the Copa do Brasil match with Operário Ferroviário.

The numbers tell their own story, and Vasco da Gama have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals overall. Defensively, Vasco da Gama have been far from perfect. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Their prior results show that Vasco da Gama:

• haven't beaten Fluminense when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Fluminense

Facundo Bernal (Hamstring injury), Agustín Canobbio (Skull fracture), Lima (Hamstring injury), Otávio (Achilles tendon rupture) and Germán Cano (Knee injury) will be missing for Fluminense boss Renato Portaluppi.

It looks as if Tricolor will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Fabio, Guga, Thiago Silva, Juan Pablo Freytes, Gabriel Fuentes, Martinelli, Hercules, Jhon Arias, Ganso, Kevin Serna and Everaldo.

🗞️ Team News: Vasco da Gama

Vasco da Gama boss Fernando Diniz has multiple availability issues to deal with. Manuel Capasso (Foot injury), David (Cruciate ligament tear), Dimitri Payet (Knee problems) and Guilherme Estrella (Knee problems) will not be playing here.

From our viewpoint, Vascão seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Luiz Gustavo, Lucas Piton, Tchê Tchê, Hugo Moura, Rayan Vitor, Nuno Moreira, Adson and Pablo Vegetti.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Fluminense can get amongst the goals when they line up against Vasco da Gama, who could well find it tough to find the back of the net.

We can therefore see a decent 2-0 win for Fluminense at the end of the match.
