Tomorrow night, the "Raimundo Sampaio" stadium will play host to the 24th round of the Brazilian Serie A. We'll see the clash between "America Mineiro" and "Vasco da Gama". Let's hit the ground running!
Their start to the new season was rather difficult, hence their current placement- second from the bottom of the table. After suffering 4 straight losses against "Fluminense" (1:3), they finally secured a win against "Sao Paulo" scoreline (2:1). This was followed by a victory over "Santos" with a clean sheet (2:0). The next match with "Cuiaba" ended in a draw (2:2). However, their most recent match was a defeat by "Bragantino" (0:2).
Their return to Serie A was far from successful. Currently, they occupy the 18th spot on the standings. Round 19 saw a victory over "Atletico Mineiro" (1:0). In the following round, they conceded defeat to "Palmeiras" in a neck-to-neck contest. The following match against "Bahia" ended in a stalemate (1:1). "Vasco" then claimed victory over "Fluminense" with a noticeable margin (4:2). In the most recent round, they swept "Coritiba" off the floor with a crushing (5:1).
The last encounter between these two teams dates back to 7th September 2018. In that game, "America" secured a win on home soil with a (2:1) scoreline.
On paper, the away team seems the likely bet. However, "America" performs substantially well on home grounds; hence, "Vasco" could potentially have their work cut out for them in this face-off. Despite their sweeping victories in the last two games, "Vasco's" away performance leaves much to be desired. Given these circumstances, placing a bet with a zero handicap in favour of the home team seems reasonable.
