A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Brazil: Serie A
Venue: Estádio Governador Magalhăes Pinto
Wednesday 22nd November, 1900hrs
There’s action from the Brazilian top flight on Wednesday night when Cruzeiro entertain Vasco da Gama at their Estádio Governador Magalhăes Pinto with the hosts looking to build from their recent 1-0 win away from home at Fortaleza.
Cruzeiro will have been boosted by that win last time out especially as the hosts slumped to three defeats on the trot beforehand, losing to Sao Paulo, Internacional and Coritiba respectively while the bigger picture shows Cruzeiro have managed to pick up just four wins out of their last 19n matches overall in Serie A.
Interestingly, three of these four wins for Cruzeiro were achieved on their travels, leaving the hosts with just one home win from their previous nine games at their Estádio Governador Magalhăes Pinto, suffering three losses and being involved in no fewer than five draws.
Vasco da Gama sit just one league position above their upcoming hosts but the visitors have been in better shape than Cruzeiro in recent weeks as the visitors bring an impressive four-match unbeaten run into this Wednesday night clash.
A point away from home at Goias in a 1-1 draw has been followed by three straight wins on the trot with Vasco da Gama accounting for the likes of Cuiaba, Botafogo and America Mineiro respectively, thus giving Ramon Diaz’s side plenty of encouragement heading into this upcoming encounter.
The bigger picture shows Vasco have made themselves a tough side to beat overall as the visitors have suffered just three defeats in their last 13 matches which should also stand the away side in good stead here.
The Betting Verdict
Vasco da Gama have lost just twice in their last six away games and with their current momentum, the visitors look capable of earning at least a point here.
The Pick :
Cruzeiro 1-1 Vasco da Gama
