Ponte Preta will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Brusque.

Fixtures featuring Ponte Preta have proved to be lively affairs lately with a lot of goalmouth action being the norm. Over their past six games alone, a total of 22 goals have been scored for both teams combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 14 of those belonging to Macaca. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether the trend will continue on here in this match.

• are undefeated in their previous 4 home league matches.

Vasco da Gama

DWDWLW

Vasco da Gama will go into the clash following a 0-1 Copa do Brasil win with the eclipse of Boavista in their last game.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo's Vasco da Gama have managed to stick the ball in the net 7 times in the course of their previous six matches. The number of goals that they have conceded during the equivalent period adds up to 6.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Vasco da Gama:

• remain undefeated by Ponte Preta in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without a win away from home in their last 9 matches in the league. A poor run.
