Atlético Mineiro Vasco da Gama betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the Copa do Brasil (Semi‑finals) after a away draw by (4‑5), after a penalty shootout, and a home win by (2‑1) against Athletico PR. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the Serie A, they got an away tie against Cruzeiro by (1‑1). In the last 4 Copa do Brasil away matches Vasco has a record of 1 win and 3 draws. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Vasco da Gama arrives for this first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinals under pressure for a positive result to keep their title hopes alive this season. Although they still have a chance to qualify for the Copa Libertadores 2025 through the Brazilian Championship, where they currently sit in 9th place, the team's main motivation right now is certainly the pursuit of the Copa do Brasil title. However, as they head into this first semifinal match against Atlético Mineiro away from home, Vasco is experiencing a period of instability: since their qualification over Athletico Paranaense in the quarterfinals via penalties, they have recorded 2 draws and 1 loss in their last 3 matches.

Confirmed Lineup: Léo Jardim, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Paulinho, Lucas Piton, Léo, Maicon, Philippe Coutinho, Mateus Carvalho dos Santos, Hugo Moura, Emerson Rodríguez Valois, Pablo Vegetti Pfaffen.
