Atletico Goianiense vs Vasco da Gama Prediction and Betting Tips | July 17th 2024

The action continues in round 17 of the Brasileiro Serie A as Atletico Goianiense and Vasco da Gama square off at the Estádio Antônio Accioly on Wednesday. Rafael Paiva’s men head into the midweek tie on a three-game winning streak and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Atletico Goianiense failed to stop the rot as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against high-flying Palmeiras at Allianz Parque last Thursday.

Vagner Mancini’s side have now lost three games on the bounce and have failed to win their last seven matches, losing four and claiming three draws since a 2-1 victory over Fluminense on June 16.

With 11 points from 16 matches, Goianiense are currently 19th in the Serie A table, level on points with 18th-placed Gremio and just three points above rock-bottom Fluminense.

Meanwhile, Vasco da Gama continue their surge into the top half of the table as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Corinthians last time out.

Paiva’s men have now gone four consecutive games without defeat, playing out a 1-1 draw with Botafogo on June 29 before winning their subsequent three games.

With 20 points from 16 matches, Vasco da Gama are currently 11th in the league standings but could move into ninth place with all three points on Wednesday.
