Athletico PR vs Vasco Prediction: Athletico PR are the favorite

A very difficult and important match for both Athletico PR and Vasco awaits us in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The visitors have the advantage from the first match, but it’s far from over. Vasco won the first leg 2:1, but both teams are looking for a way to save the season, and the National Cup is the best tournament for it, so they can expect a tough, tense match against Athletico PR for a place in the semifinals.

Form: LLLWL

Athletico PR almost won the first match against Vasco, they had the lead but then conceded 2 goals in the 80th and the 93rd minute. In Copa do Brasil they are doing great this season at home, they have 2 wins in 2 matches, but they lost the last 3 matches they played in this stadium in the league. Overall, their form is very bad, they have only a win in the last 5 matches in all competitions. However, their form against Vasco is great, they won the last 13 matches against Vasco in this stadium, so it gives them hope for a positive result in this match.

Form: WWWDW

The giant from Rio de Janeiro, Vasco woke up and improved the form a lot. They are undefeated in their last 8 matches in all competitions and won 3 matches in a row in all competitions. Their biggest concern is the defensive line which isn’t very secure, and they easily concede goals. However, this team plays much better now than at the beginning of the season, when they were in the relegation zone in the league. The players are playing with passion and are fighting for this club as it should be.

According to bookmakers, Athletico PR are a huge favorite in this match, and I agree with it, but I don’t think it will be an easy match for either of the teams. Athletico PR are struggling lately, but Vasco have very problems when playing away from home even though they are undefeated in the last 3 away matches. I expect a tough match, but considering the form and recent performances I expect both teams to score at least a goal.
