Atletico Goianiense vs Vasco da Gama prediction: In form Vasco are worth backing

Key Stats

Correct score prediction: Atletico Goianiense 1-2 Vasco da Gama

Atletico Goianiense have been averaging less than one goal per game in Serie A this term and having found the net exactly once in each of their last five outings in the division, their output could be similar on Thursday.  Vasco meanwhile, bagged a brace in each of their last three tests and they have been consistent enough in the final third to net twice again here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Vasco are attractive underdogs

• HOME: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
• DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
• AWAY: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Atletico Goianiense are still sitting in second-place position in the table following their 3-1 reverse at Palmeiras, yet, despite a string of poor results, they have been priced as 6/5 favourites to win this week. Vasco, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak, look the better proposition however, at a more attractive 9/4, while they also look decent value at 11/8 to open the scoring.

Player to watch – Pablo Vegetti

Veteran striker Pablo Vegetti chose to swap his homeland in Argentina for a new challenge in Brazil last year and even at the tender age of 35, the centre-forward still has plenty to offer.

Vegetti a menace in the box

Vegetti was a prolific goalscorer for Belgrano in Argentina and his touch has been just as lethal in Brazil where he has scored 20 times in 40 appearances for Vasco da Gama. Vegetti registered twice in his last four runouts in Serie A and he could be a chief protagonist again on Thursday.
