Fortaleza vs Vasco Prediction & Betting Tips (2 May)

Having triumphed at their one of the past 5 games of the season, Vasco have since gone on to lose eight of their next ten matches at the top table of the Copa do Brasil. Fortaleza, by way of contrast, have enjoyed 13 wins in their previous 20 home games at this level, so the club from the capital will be confident of putting Copa do Brasil bottom side to the sword.

When Vasco come calling in the Copa do Brasil, over 2.5 goals tends to follow, with nine of their previous 11 away games subscribing to this particular scoring model. Given that seven of the most recent nine Fortaleza home matches at this level have also served up two goals or more, any deviation from this script would come as a surprise when the teams meet.

Fortaleza are currently on a run of 11 consecutive top-flight fixtures in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Vasco matches at this level, meaning that clean sheets are likely to prove hard to come by.
