Vitoria vs Vasco da Gama: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Salvador collected 45 points last season, but due to tiebreakers, finished only fifteenth and missed out on international tournaments. This season, they are only slightly better—still suffering one more loss than they have wins, seven versus six. They finished the spring segment of the championship with a 1-3 loss away to Santos.
The team from Rio de Janeiro was precisely the one that edged out Vitoria last season, even with equal points. They went on to play in the Copa Sudamericana, advancing from their group and will soon face Independiente Medellin. However, domestically, things are not going well—to put it mildly, after three consecutive defeats, the players have dropped into the relegation zone.
Jair Ventura’s men score an average of 1.24 goals per match but concede slightly more at 1.47. Their opponent’s place in the relegation zone is justified, as they currently concede 1.61 goals per match while scoring just 1.22.
