Atletico GO vs Vasco Prediction: Both teams desperately need a win

Two teams from Serie A will meet in the round of 16 of Copa do Brazil as Atletico GO welcomes Vasco in the first match. Both teams are in crisis, especially the hosts, and a win in this match will be very helpful for either of them to gain some confidence. Atletico GO might be slight favorites in this match, but it’s really hard to make a difference between these teams as they play very differently from match to match.

Atletico GO

Form: LDLLL

Atletico GO are in last place in the league, and a positive result in the Cup is the only option for them to save the season. In the last 5 matches, they have 4 defeats and a draw, 3 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the previous round, they were better than Serie B team Brusgue, but it’s hard to believe that this team can proceed to the 1/8 finals the way they play. Bruno Tubarao and Roni are unavailable for this match due to an injury and it’s another blow for the home side.

Vasco

Form: LLWWW

Vasco aren’t playing very well this season, but still, they are better than Atletico GO. They are in 11th place in the league, but recently they suffered two defeats in a row. In the previous round, they faced a very difficult opponent Fortaleza and won after a penalty shootout as both matches ended in a draw. For Vasco, the most important thing in this match is to remain undefeated especially because they will be without Guilherme Estrella, Joao Victor, Paulinho Paula, and Adson

Expert Betting Tips

These teams played a match in this stadium two weeks ago in the 17th round of Serie A and Vasco won 1:0, but it was a pretty equal match. It was 3rd match in a row for Vasco to remain undefeated in this stadium and I believe that they will try everything to keep it that way after this encounter. The hosts put all of their hopes in the Cup, but it seems that they don’t have enough strength to make a surprise, and I expect a match without too many chances and goals.
