Vila Nova is also in a lower part of the table, having a 5-point margin over its closest opponent from the relegation zone, Vitoria. In the current championship, the Tigers scored 11 times and conceded 13 goals. The team's last ten matches have resulted in three victories, four draws, and three losses. In previous rounds, Vila Nova lost to Sampaio Correa (0-2), Brusque (0-1), and Regatas (2-1), tied against Cruzeiro (0-0), and defeated Guarani (1-4) and Remo (0-1).

The history of head-to-head confrontations has seven matches. They ended in five victories of Vasco da Gama and two wins of Vila Nova. The last time the opponents met on the pitch of Vila Nova in the Brazilian Cup match in 2017. Then the hosts lost to Vasco de Gama with a minimum score of 1-2. The Black Shirts played in Serie A for several seasons before returning to a lower division, so the clubs have not crossed paths for a long time. To date, Vasco scores twice as many goals and is slightly behind the promotion zone. We think the hosts will gain victory, but it won’t be superfluous to add a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Vasco da Gama to win with 0.0 handicap
