Vasco da Gama v Avai
Wednesday 23:30
Oop. Argentina 6 Paraguay 1 in the Copa America overnight. We should have listened to that small sense of trepidation.
Hopefully Brazil's still a safe haven from extradition.
In the Campeonato tonight, Vasco da Gama take on mid-table Avai fresh from a morale-boosting derby win over Flamengo.
The (deep breath) Bullet Train from the Hill'sCelso Roth has been in charge for just that game and now faces an Avai side that has scored in each of its last seven league games.
Vasco's 1-0 win over Flamengo brought their first clean sheet in seven games. In each of the six games before that, they conceded at least twice.
With Vasco's confidence boost from the weekend, we'd expect them to find a way past a visiting defence that has conceded in 8/9 matches so far this season.
The numbers say Avai should do the same at the other end, so we're happy to back both teams to score at an odds-against price.
