Vasco da Gama vs Goias Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd June 2023

Both Vasco da Gama and Goias need points to escape their current position at the relegation-end of the Serie A table. The match takes place at Vasco da Gama's stadium and could be labelled a serious six-pointer.

Vasco da Gama are number 19 in the table on six points after ten matches. Goias rank as number 17 with eight points after ten matches played.

A win is required for Vasco da Gama to jump ahead of Goias in the Serie A table this coming Friday. In a match they enter as favourites, this seems as an opportunity too good to miss.

Vasco da Gama vs Goias Prediction

Vasco da Gama Form

Vasco da Gama have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-0 by Fortaleza, before Flamengo ran out 1-4 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Internacional, who came out 2-1 winners. Vasco da Gama only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Vasco da Gama's stadium in the Serie A. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded 12 goals.

Goias Form

A single point prevents Goias from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 2-1 and 0-1 against Sao Paulo and Cuiaba, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 2-2 draw against Fluminense. Goias are winless in their last six away games in the Serie A, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 11 goals while scoring two themselves.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Goias but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Vasco da Gama need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Vasco da Gama have found goals very hard to come by on home soil this season in the Serie A. No side scored fewer times, than the three goals they have so far pulled off. Along the way they have allowed eight goals against. Goias have been terrible at getting on the scoresheet away from home in the Serie A. Hitting the target only two times, they have the worst offensive record so far, whilst also allowing eight goals against.

Vasco da Gama won one points from their last two encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored one and let in two goals. Goias earned four points from their last two games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Serie A table. They scored four goals in those matches, but also allowed two goals against on their way to one wins. Vasco da Gama show off a record of one win, three draws and six defeats in the Serie A this season. Goias so far pulled off two wins, two draws and six defeats in the Serie A.
