Under 2.5 goals at Athletico Paranaense vs Vasco da Gama 3/5 for Sunday’s Serie A showdown

Posted December 27th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could see chances come at a real premium this weekend, Athletico Paranaense will host relegation scrappers Vasco da Gama late on Sunday night.

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up what was a much-needed victory last time out, Athletico Paranaense will be desperate to build off of that result and bring an end to their torrid festive run. In their 26 Serie A contests this season, they have recorded nine wins, four draws and 13 defeats, scoring 13 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 31, Athletico open Sunday’s fixtures sat 12th in the table and with just their goal difference keeping them in the Copa Sudamericana positions. As for their recent run of results, this weekend’s hosts have lost four of their last five matchups across all formats and they have also won just a pair of their last six Serie A home contests. It should also be highlighted, four of Athletico’s last five home appearances have seen under 2.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, while Vasco da Gama might have also managed to bring an end to their worrying rut last time out, they do find themselves in a similar position to Sunday’s hosts. In their 25 Serie A matchups this season, they have recorded seven wins, seven draws and 11 defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 28, and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat in the drop zone, it should also be noted that Vasco holds the third-worst attacking record in the division so far this year. As for their recent run of results, despite collecting a 1-0 victory against Santos on home soil last time out, that was their only victory in each of their previous eight matchups across all formats. With four of their last five Serie A away fixtures finishing with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome on Sunday night.
