Gremio vs Vasco Prediction & Betting Tips (28 July)

Whether playing at home or away, defending Vasco have been absolutely brilliant for a sustained period of time now, as reflected by the fact that their last 20 top-flight matches have yielded 15 wins and five draws. For their part, Gremio are winless in nine league games in front of their own supporters, losing no fewer than six of these encounters.

Both meetings between these two teams in the playoffs last season served up under 2.5 goals, meaning that Gremio have now been involved in seven consecutive matches of this low-scoring variety. As for Vasco, seven of their previous ten away games at this level have produced no more than a couple of goals, so don’t expect a feast of attacking football.

Witnessing goals at both ends has been pretty uncommon in recent Gremio home matches in the second tier, with just four of their last 20 contests being devoid of any clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in only two of the ten away games played by Vasco so far this season, it is hard to see that pattern changing here.
