Vasco da Gama Santos betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 10^th last season. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away loss against Flamengo by (2‑1). Vasco has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 8 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

After a mediocre campaign in the last edition of the Brasileirão, Vasco are starting the new season looking for more regularity in order to fight for higher positions in the table. Playing at home, the team tends to impose itself from the first minutes, trying to put the opposition under pressure and create good chances. The team will need to be efficient in attack to convert their chances and avoid wasting chances that could complicate the match. Defensively, it will be crucial not to give the opposition any space, especially when playing at speed. A good result in the opener can give them confidence for the rest of the competition.
