Vasco da Gama last match

The forecast was that the match between the two teams would be quite close, hence the home win had odds of 3.10.

Curiosity about previous games

Vasco da Gama

Serie A leaderboard now

The Vasco da Gama team has 11 points being in the 16th place in the Serie A competition in Brazil. The overall balance is not favorable, with 8 losses, 3 wins wins and 2 draws.

In the 14th round, the team is having an 1 point advantage over the Atlético GO team, which is placed just below in 17th place. It also has 1 point less than Vitória team that is in the 15th place.

Vasco da Gama analysis

Vasco da Gama at the end of round 13 in Serie A had 13 goals scored and 25 conceded.

Vasco da Gama averaged 3.62 attempts toward the opponent's goal per match played, which may say a lot about the team's offensive skills and its ability to score.

Vasco da Gama, with a ball possession of 46.62% per game on average, is not the team that imposes its game, and rather prefers a tactic devoted to waiting and counterattacks. However, in the match against Fortaleza of 2024 they will have to do something more, try to maintain possession of the ball and attack the opponent's goal with more continuity.

Vasco da Gama has demonstrated their offensive prowess by scoring 13 times with 1304 attacks, while Fortaleza has only scored 11 times with 972 attacks.

Maintaining optimal performance could prove to be a difficult task for Vasco da Gama as they navigate a tight schedule with multiple games in quick succession. Despite Vasco da Gama and Fortaleza being evenly matched on paper, the team's demanding schedule could tip the scales in favor of their opponents.

Fortaleza analysis

Fortaleza counted 11 goals scored and 11 conceded at the end of Serie A day number 13.

The odds are certainly not in favor of the team, which in addition to playing in a difficult away match will have to deal with the difficulties shown in the offensive phase. At the moment, in fact, it has no more than 1 goals scored on average per match.

Juggling a tight schedule with several games in a short timeframe, Fortaleza could find it challenging to perform at their best against Vasco da Gama. Despite the odds pointing towards a closely fought contest, the team's busy schedule could be a crucial factor in determining the final result.

Best goalscorer from Fortaleza

When we analyze the team's attack so far, the competition's performance at the individual level Juan Martin Lucero is the player to highlight. Helping Fortaleza with 4 goals scored this season, the Attacker has been instrumental in achieving positive outcomes.
