Vasco da Gama vs Atletico Paranaense Prediction 1 August 2017
On August 1 2017 at 00:00 the regular game of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A will be played in Rio de Janeiro between Vasco da Gama and Atletico Paranaense.
The first half of the season was rather successful for Vasco da Gama, in fact. Most of the beginners of their national elite division have a task of staying in it for another season and Vasco da Gama managed to do it well. Of course, they still don’t have that level to compete for the medals and they are also not stable enough in the away games. The victory in their latest match was rather important for the team psychologically as they lost to Sao Paulo and drew Santos before that.
As for Atletico Paranaense, they finished the previous season on the 6th place in the standings. Yet, in the current season after half of matches played in the national elite division they are still among the outsiders of the league in the 17th place in the standings. Probably the main reason for it is the fact that their results in the home matches got significantly worse. After 8 matches played at home in the current season they only gained 8 points in them.
The statistics and the results of the latest games played between the teams show the advantage of Vasco da Gama. We must admit that Vasco da Gama haven’t lost a single game of 15 played against Atletico Paranaense while they only drew 4 times. Anyway, they still have a lot of players injured in their squad. Yet it seems to us that the hosts are more likely to win in the upcoming game.
