Brazil football flag — Cruzeiro have crushed all-comers in Brazil recently

"Hosting teams in the top half of the table, Cruzeiro are a perfect W7-D0-L0"

Tobias Gourlay's in Brazil again as Serie B table toppers Cruzeiro host Vasco da Gama

Gremio beat Sport Recife 3-0 in Brazil last night - but for the first time in a home win this season, they didn't complete the Half Time/Full Time double.

We're sticking in Brazil today as top-of-the-table Cruzeiro host fourth-placed Vasco da Gama. Despite their position - and their name - Vasco are poor travellers and we're backing the league leaders to move further clear at the top.

Cruzeiro are W13-D2-L0 on their own turf this season. Hosting teams in the top half of the table, that record is a perfect W7-D0-L0. They've conceded only once across those seven games, so a Win To Nil bet has landed in 6/7.

Vasco are W3-D4-L9 on the road this season, but that's a top-heavy record. The Giant of the Hill started W3-D4-L1 before losing all of their last eight. They've scored just four times across those eight outings. At an odds-against price, we'll take them to be shut out and leave Mineirao with nothing.
