Nova Iguaçu Vasco da Gama betting prediction

This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home loss against Internacional by (0‑2). Nova Iguaçu registers 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 home matches for the Carioca 1.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 home matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 9 of the last 12 matches for the Carioca 1, they have reached half‑time in front in 4 of those 9 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.

O Nova Iguaçu enters this second-leg match of the Campeonato Carioca semifinals motivated by being very close to securing an unprecedented spot in the grand final of the state competition. This is because Nova Iguaçu managed to secure an away draw in the first leg of this semifinal against Vasco, even showing a superior performance compared to the team competing in the Brazilian Serie A. Therefore, despite being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil after a 2-0 defeat at home against Internacional, Nova Iguaçu certainly arrives motivated to secure at least another draw against Vasco playing at home, as this result would already be enough to lead the team to the state championship final.

Confirmed Lineup: Fabricio, Gabriel Pinheiro, Yan Silva, Sergio Raphael, Maicon, Albert, Yago, Igor Guilherme, Carlinhos, Bill, Xandinho.
