Defensive solidity, growing it is.
Vasco DA Gama's journey, more troubled. Only three wins in ten, with five losses. Away from home, particularly bleak it is. Just one win in their last five travels, with a mere 0.60 goals scored per game. Concede 1.40 on the road, they do. Their most recent away match? A 3-0 win over the weak Boavista SC.
