Vasco da Gama vs Cruzeiro Prediction and Betting Tips | June 16th 2024

Vasco da Gama and Cruzeiro lock horns at the Estádio São Januário in round nine of the Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday. Fernando Seabra’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last three games against the hosts since September 2022 and will look to extend this two-year run.

Vasco da Gama were left empty handed once again as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque on Thursday.

With that result, Álvaro Pacheco’s side have gone six consecutive away matches within a win across all competitions, losing five and claiming one draw since the start of March.

Vasco da Gama have now lost six of their opening eight Serie A games while claiming just two wins to collect six points and sit 14th in the league table.

Cruzeiro, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Cuiaba 2-1 at the Mineirão Stadium.

This followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo on June 2 which saw their run of five straight wins in all competitions come to an end.

With 13 points from seven matches, Cruzeiro are currently seventh in the league standings, level on points with eighth-placed Atletico Mineiro.
