Vasco da Gama
Game Prediction
The matches of the next round of the qualification for the World Cup will be played only on Wednesday night in South America. Still, the national championships will resume, including the Brazilian Serie A, within 24 hours. The high-status clubs, Cruzeiro and Vasco da Gama, will play against each other there. They returned to the elite division of the country only at the end of the previous season, and risk returning to the second division again if they play poorly at the end of the draw – thus, it is more than important to win. So, who will succeed? The experts of the website have created a prediction for the important match on November 23, 2023.
Cruzeiro is in a difficult situation
“The Foxes”, or rather their fans, almost ruined the match against Curitiba. They can be understood in some ways: their favourite team played on the field of an outsider, which was in penultimate place. They obviously expected to replenish their “piggy bank”, but they conceded in the 90th+ minute of the game instead. That was the third defeat in a row, and the ambitious club, which had just returned from the Serie B in the spring, remained in the relegation zone – the fury of the fans was calmed only by the appearance of the police on the field. Well, then the team at least was better than Fortaleza – 1-0.

Vasco da Gama can’t afford to relax either
“The Gigante da Colina” looks like its next opponent. It, having won almost everything possible, is also the historical giant of Brazilian football. At the same time, all the successes remained in the previous century, and the last time it was faced with ever-growing problems. As a result, “the Admirals” spent both previous seasons in the Serie B and returned from 3rd place then. Having started with a victory, the team quickly faded away in 2023. There was even a period with 10 defeats and only 1 victory. Still, it has been possible to improve the game since August. Moreover, all 3 November matches ended in victories for Vasco, which provided the opportunity to escape from the relegation zone. However, it is still very close, and a couple of misfires could ruin everything.
Previous head-to-head matches
Taking into account the previous season, which was spent in the Serie B, the opponents exchanged “clean sheets” at the home arenas. As for the current year, Cruzeiro won on the away field thanks to a goal scored by Filipe Machado “into the locker room” already in the Brasileiro, in July.
