Gameday in Rio for the round 34 between Vasco & Gremio Novorizontino.

Vasco will be without Gabriel Dias & Riquelme.

Novorizontino is without Giovanni.

Vasco is ranked 4 with 14 wins, 10 draws & 9 losses for 39 goals scored & 31 goals conceded.

Novorizontino is ranked 16 with 9 wins, 10 draws & 14 losses for 32 goals scored & 40 goals conceded.

Very good chance to win here on Vasco who is in a big race for the promotion and it's gonna be a very close end as the gap with Sampaio, Sport, Criciuma, Ituano & Lodnrina isn't big behind. In front there is a gap of 4 points with Bahia & 7 points with Gremio as they just won.

Novorizontino is a weak team in Serie B and they are in a big fight against the relegation.

Odds are too much based on the first meeting where Vasco lost 2-0 but I rate them much stronger now. Novorizontino is from Sao Paulo so the distance between SP & Rio isn't that big.

I expect Vasco to control this game as they have a stronger midfield with Nene, Gomes & Eguinaldo.

I expect 2-0 or 1-0.
