Vasco da Gama, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Bahia in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Vasco da Gama last time out. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Bahia's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 18 of their 21 games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Vasco at Estádio São Januário recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 6 of the first 10 league games at Estádio São Januário.
Fluminense, Recent FormFluminense will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Fortaleza. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Fortaleza who had 20 attempts and 5 on target.
Manager Fernando Diniz will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Germán Cano has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Vasco da Gama.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
In each of their last 5 games away from home in the league to Vasco, Tricolor have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Vasco will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 4 games.
Vasco manager Ramón Díaz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Riquelme Carvalho Araújo (Cruciate ligament), Patrick De Lucca (Cruciate ligament) and Gabriel Dias (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Jorge de Oliveira Moraes (Cruciate ligament) and Marcelo Vieira da Silva (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Fernando Diniz will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
