The Vasco da Gama squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Fortaleza, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Fortaleza, who had 15 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.

It's fair to say Flamengo will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Cruzeiro, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Cruzeiro's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Jorge Sampaoli will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row.  

With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.  

On an individual basis, Gabriel Barbosa is giving Flamengo's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
