Vasco take on the visitors Fortaleza in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, July 4th at Sao Januário (Rio de Janeiro).
Last season, Vasco managed to improve at the right moment and escaped relegation. We'll see what happens this time around. But the main characteristic of this Rio-based team is that they can put up a fight against any opponent on their home turf, while their performance in away matches is simply dreadful. The current season fully confirms this trend so far. Vasco has earned all 11 of their league points at home. They have even managed to secure three victories: against Grêmio (2-1), Vitória Bahia (2-1), and São Paulo (4-1). In their last five home games, the "Cruzmaltinos" have only lost once—to Flamengo, who are currently leading the table.

Fortaleza has generally looked better than their opponent this season. However, I think that in this particular match, the "Tricolores of Steel" are more likely to lose than win. This team, like Vasco da Gama, can also be considered a home-centric side. Out of their 20 points this season, 15 were earned at home, with only five coming from away games. After an unexpected victory at the beginning of the season against São Paulo away (2-1), the "Lions" have not won on the road in four consecutive matches: drawing with Corinthians (0-0) and Atlético Mineiro (1-1), and losing to Bahia (0-1) and Cuiabá (0-5).
Despite the fact that Fortaleza is currently mid-table while Vasco da Gama is near the relegation zone, bookmakers slightly favor the hosts for this match. I tend to agree with them and also give a slight edge to the "Cruzmaltinos." At home, Vasco is capable of challenging anyone and has been accumulating points exclusively at home. Fortaleza, on the other hand, is also predominantly a home-based team, with more away losses than wins this season. Based on everything mentioned in the previous two paragraphs, I conclude that a "Draw No Bet" (0 handicap) on the home team is a very good wager. Two of the last three encounters between these teams ended in draws (0-0 and 3-3), and the other was a victory for the Rio de Janeiro side (1-0). Additionally, it's worth noting that Fortaleza has never beaten this opponent away from home.
Prediction for the match: Vasco to win with 0.0 handicap.

It has become customary to see Vasco da Gama somewhere in the lower part of the Serie A table.
