Odds: Vasco (17/10) Draw (11/5) Internacional (13/8)Gamingtips Prediction – Vasco 0:1 Internacional
Vasco da Gama finished 5th in the Compeonato Brasileiro last season where they scored 45 goals in 38 games and conceded 44.
Internacional finished 6 points behind in 10th place.
They scored 44 goals in 38 matches and conceded 40.
On paper, this match is very close and it’s very difficult to pick a winner based on form figures.
The stand out statistic surrounding this game is Internacional’s away record.
They have lost just 3 of their last 25 away games in all competitions (2 of their last 13 in the Compeonato Brasileiro) and given Vasco’s horrendous run of form, this may be the stat that unlocks the answer to this match.
Vasco da Gama’s run has to come to an end at some point and they will be hoping they can rekindle some of last years form and defeat Internacional this Thursday evening.
