Betting on Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama
Starting a competition with a victory is always a good thing, and that’s exactly what happened for Vasco da Gama, who defeated Atlético Mineiro 2-1 in the first matchday of the Brasileirao. This win came after a three-game losing streak in all competitions, so it was a much-needed success.
One of those losses was at home against ABC in March, which led to its elimination from the Copa do Brasil. This match will mark its home debut in this competition, and its main goal is to get back on the winning track after losing its last two games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Léo Jardim; Puma Rodríguez, Robson Bambu, Léo, Lucas Piton; Rodrigo, Jair, Andrey Santos; Gabriel Pec, Pedro Raul, Alex Teixeira.
Betting on Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras
The current Brazilian league champions clinched a 2-1 victory over Cuiabá in its debut, securing three points and cementing its position as a strong contender for the title. It has won three consecutive local competitions and only suffered one defeat in its last ten matches.
However, Palmeiras needs to improve its performance when playing away from home, as it has not won in four matches, with a record of two draws and two losses in all competitions, the latter being consecutive. It is worth mentioning that the Green Team emerged victorious in its last three visits to Vasco da Gama.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Vanderlan; Zé Rafael, Gabriel Menino; Artur, José López, Dudu; Endrick.
JefeBet Prediction
Vasco da Gama has a tough time facing Palmeiras, both at home and away. In fact, it’s only won once in its last 10 encounters against this opponent, and that was back in November 2015.
Although the competition has just started and the teams haven’t shown their full potential, it’s worth noting that Vasco hasn’t been able to win its last two home games against weaker opponents. This suggests that its chances of winning against the reigning champions are slim. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a celebratory away win for Palmeiras.
Prediction: Palmeiras Moneyline (VAS 0-1 PAL)
