Vasco da Gama vs Athletico Paranaense Prediction and Betting Tips | July 23, 2023

Vasco da Gama set out to pick up a morale-boosting win when they host Athletico Paranaense in the Brasileiro Serie A at the Estadio Sao Januario on Sunday. Wesley Carvalho’s men are on a three-game losing streak away from home and will look to end this poor run.

Vasco were left empty-handed once again, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Cruzeiro last time out. William Almeida’s men have lost eight of their last nine games across competitions, with a 1-0 win over tn-man Cuiaba on June 27 being the exception.

With nine points from 14 games, Vasco are 19th in the Serie A, level on points with rock-bottom America Mineiro.

Meanwhile, Athletico returned to winning ways in style, seeing off Bahia 2-0 at the Arena da Baixada on Sunday. Before that, the Rubro-Negro were on a three-game losing streak, a run which saw them crash out of the Copa do Brasil with of a 4-1 aggregate loss to Flamengo.

With 23 points from 15 games, Athletico are eighth in the league table but will move level with third-placed Gremio with a win.
