Bangu vs Vasco – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 28/01/2024

Bangu and Vasco face off at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in the city of Brasília, in the federal capital, in a game valid for the 4th round of the Guanabara Cup, in the Campeonato Carioca. The duel is scheduled to start at 4pm, on the afternoon of this Sunday, January 28, 2024.

Bangu

The Bangu team arrives quite undervalued for this clash, taking into account that the team has not yet managed to register any truly convincing performance in its campaign and has had three consecutive defeats so far.

Their most recent duel was a 3-2 defeat to Nova Iguaçu, in the only opportunity they had to play at the Moça Bonita stadium, in Bangu, this season.

Before that, the team from the west of Rio de Janeiro had already lost to Botafogo and Portuguesa-RJ, both as visitors.

In their 5 most recent official clashes, only 1 victory, no draws and 4 defeats were recorded. During this period, they beat Duque de Caxias, in addition to losing to the same Duque de Caxias team, Botafogo, Portuguesa-RJ and also Nova Iguaçu.

At the moment, the red-and-white club is in 11th place on the Rio elite league table, still without any points won, but it remains out of the relegation zone as it has an advantage in relation to Audax-RJ’s goal difference, which is at the bottom of the table.

Despite the match taking place outside the state of Rio de Janeiro, Bangu is still in charge of the field and in the last 10 times they played in this condition they only recorded 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.

Vasco

And on the visitors’ side there is the Vasco squad, which already used maximum strength last Thursday, for the first time in this Carioca Championship, considering that its main squad was in pre-season in Uruguay, where it played some friendlies.

Even so, Gigante da Colina has a good campaign in the state and is coming off a resounding victory over Madureira by a score of 2-0 at home, showing the strength of its squad.

With the positive result, the Cruzmaltino team took over the top of the leaderboard, with 7 points achieved so far, having the same score as Nova Iguaçu, which appears in second place due to having a disadvantage in relation to goal difference.

In their 5 most recent clashes, there were 4 wins, 1 draw and no defeats. During this period they beat Madureira, Maldonado, San Lorenzo and also Boavista, in addition to drawing with Sampaio Corrêa-RJ.

Acting as a visitor, the Vasco team recorded a recent campaign with 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats in the last 10 matches played.

Conclusion:

Listed as favorites to win, Vasco will have a wide advantage over Bangu, especially as they play in Brasília, where their fans will be the majority in the stands and, on the field, the Vasco team is technically much more qualified to stand out without any major problems.
