Vasco da Gama-RJ vs Athletico Paranaense prediction
Vasco da Gama-RJ
Vasco da Gama spends the current season in Brazil on average: 10th place with a gap of 10 points and 1 game more from the top five, in which you can fight for the Copa Libertadores. However, taking into account the Brazilian Cup, the club has not lost 5 matches already, there is a small field for optimism. The team is also playing at home, not to say that it's great: 9th place in the summary table, but the gap of 4 points from the 4th position is not too much.
Athletico Paranaense
Atletico Paranaense is also playing neither shaky nor loose: 9th place and 29 points in 21 games. The team does not have a series of successful performances, they lose about 1 game out of 4. But the away team is playing amazing: 15 points in 11 games, and 4th place in the summary table.
Prediction
In face-to-face meetings, the advantage is on the side of Atletico: 6 wins in the last 10 face-to-face meetings. The teams score a little, about 1.85 goals per game, with totals in this confrontation is not easy. Therefore, I will choose the priority side - and it will be Atletico, thanks to a good away game, although goalkeeper Bento left them - but the club's defense is so strong, strong 4-2-3-1 with non-attacking flanks of defense, they must stand.
