Nautico take on the visitors Vasco in the round 11 match of Brazilian Serie B. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 8th at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho (Recife).
Nautico can only be considered a giant at the level of their state. The Possums have been the best in Pernambuco 24 times, including last year and even this spring, it was possible to win the regional title. But here, of all the opponents, only Sport Recife and Santa Cruz are quoted high. Another picture is at the national level. Only once, in 1967, did they manage to reach the final of the cup, at that time the only tournament at the national level. In Serie A, over the past quarter of a century, it has been possible to hold 2 small segments, 3 (2007-2009) and 2 (2012-2013) years long. The rest of the time was mainly spent in Serie B. And if in the last draw there was 8th place, now thye have to actually fight for survival. And in this regard, the success in the last round, 2-1 away from Brusque, was extremely important.

Vasco da Gama will try to do what didn't work out in the last draw. "Admirals" - quite a popular club. They were the champion of the country more than once, and even won the Copa Libertadores. But in this century, there was only 1 truly powerful year, 2011, when I managed to climb to 2nd place and win the country's cup, the only one in history. But both before and after that, there were relegations to Serie B. Another drop happened in 2020, when the popular team finished in 17th place. Often it was possible to immediately return, but not this time: the representative of Rio de Janeiro last season took only 10th place in the 2nd division. But now the wards of Ze Ricardo (the mentor had already worked here once, and even brought them the Copa Libertadores) are among the leaders of the league. After 0-0 with Gremio, however, they rolled back to 4th place.
Vasco has only lost one head-to-head since 2011. True, Nautico, on the other hand, in the last season brought both meetings to a draw. The clubs' chances of winning seem pretty equal to experts. But Vasco is good - we are waiting for their victory with a handicap.
Prediction for the match: Vasco to win with 0.0 handicap.
