Form Guide — Last 5
Fluminense
Fluminense’s recent five‑match run (DDWWD) includes a 3‑2 home win over Palmeiras and a 2‑1 home victory at Remo, showing they can break down quality defenses. The earlier 0‑0 draw with Bahia at home and 1‑1 draw away at Botafogo underline a solid defensive base. These results demonstrate a side capable of both scoring and holding, reinforcing the model’s win probability.
Vasco DA Gama
Vasco’s last five league games (DLLW) feature a 3‑1 home win over Cruzeiro but also heavy defeats: 0‑3 at home to Santos and 1‑4 away at Palmeiras. The 0‑0 draw away at Bahia adds a rare clean sheet. The mix of one win and two heavy losses highlights volatility, supporting a lower win chance for Vasco.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Vasco have won twice (1‑3 and 3‑2), Fluminense have one win (0‑1) and there have been two draws (0‑0 and 1‑1). The head‑to‑head record leans slightly towards Vasco, but the model still favors Fluminense based on current form and xG.
