Vitoria take on the visitors Vasco da Gama at “Barradao” in the gameweek 13 of the Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played in Salvador on Thursday, July 13th.
Vitoria picked up four points in their two recent clashes in the Serie A after 0:0 draw against Bahia and 2:1 loss to Atletico GO. In 12 rounds of the Brazilian Serie A Alexander Gallo’s side got 12 points with 11-16 goal difference and currently occupies the 17th place in the table. The results of “Leaos da Barra” at their own turf are the worst ones in the elite division: the team managed to gain five points with four goals for and six goals against in six encounters in face of its fans. Last time Vitoria won at the home field was on the 11th of June which is more than a month ago.

In their turn, last matchday Vasco da Gama were beaten by Flamengo RJ with 0:1 scoreline. Despite that failure, “Trem Bala da Colina” managed to quickly adapt to the clashes in the elite division and currently sits on the 10th position in the Serie A standings with 16 points earned and 15-23 goal difference. However, Vasco da Gama show weak performance on the road: the side got only one single point with four goals for and 13 goals against in five games. The side’s away no-win streak counts for six encounters with last time Vasco won on the road being on the 2nd of April.
Vitoria have not been broken by Vasco da Gama across five recent head-to-heads since the 9th of August 2010. Taking into account the visiting side’s poor play in this season, I believe that Vitoria will manage to pick up points with at least getting a draw against Vasco da Gama.
Prediction for the match: Vitoria to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
