Vasco faces Palmeiras trying to maintain the good phase and get closer to the G6.
Vasco will face Palmeiras next Sunday afternoon (22), at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasilia, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The Cruzmaltino is going through an excellent phase, undefeated since July 28, when they lost 1-0 against Grêmio. Under the guidance of Rafael Paiva, Vasco has evolved, leaving the relegation zone and trying to get closer to the G6.
On the other hand, Palmeiras, always consistent in domestic competitions, arrives motivated by the 5-0 victory over Criciúma. With no commitments in other competitions, Abel Ferreira’s team focuses on the Brasileirão, aiming for the three points to reduce the gap on the leaders Botafogo and continue in the fight for the title.
Negative retrospective
The recent history between the two teams favors Palmeiras, with Vasco not beating their rival since November 2015. In the last 11 clashes, Cruzmaltino have suffered 7 defeats and drawn 4 times, without scoring in 6 of those matches. Furthermore, Vasco have not beaten Palmeiras at home since 2012, accumulating 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Despite the unfavorable numbers, Vasco is confident in the good form of the team and the support of its fans, which has been an important factor. Rafael Paiva has adjusted the defensive system and given more confidence to the attack, with players like Vegetti decisive in the last rounds.
