Internacional vs Vasco da Gama: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on July 28, 2025

Internacional and Vasco da Gama will meet in Porto Alegre for another Brasileirão match. Inter is clearly in recovery mode and has won three games in a row. Vasco da Gama postponed two games to compete in the Copa Sudamericana playoff but ended up eliminated.

Internacional: Form and statistics

After two consecutive home wins, Inter beat Santos 2-1 at the Vila Belmiro and confirmed its rise in confidence. Carbonero's goal in the 9th minute gave the Gaúchos some peace of mind as they controlled Santos' attacks with relative ease. Roger Machado's team ceded possession to Santos and waited for opportunities to counterattack. In the 75th minute, Alan Patrick crossed, and the ball deflected off Escobar's hand inside the area. Borré made no mistake with the penalty, and Internacional made it 2-0. The game seemed decided, but in the 91st minute, Barreal reduced the deficit with a left-footed shot inside the area. Santos believed it could equalize the score and intensified the pressure. In the last minute, Neymar shot hard, goalkeeper Rochet failed to hold the ball, which incredibly hit the post and bounced twice on the goal line before the Uruguayan managed to grab it. Neymar celebrated, but VAR confirmed that the ball had not gone in. Shortly after, the referee blew the whistle, and Inter ended up winning with unexpected suffering. Internacional climbed to 10th place with 20 points and one game in hand.

Vasco da Gama: Form and statistics

The Cruzmaltino is not having a good season, and its fans are becoming very concerned as they see the team getting closer to the relegation zone. Last season, the club had a decent campaign, but this year it looks like the Cariocas will be fighting to avoid relegation. Fernando Diniz's side is showing weaknesses in all sectors, and the coach has a lot of work ahead of him. Vasco was eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana by Independiente del Valle with a 5-1 aggregate score. In the second leg, played in Rio de Janeiro, the fans protested after the 1-1 draw with the Ecuadorians. The Copa Sudamericana was the club's main objective, but to win this tournament, it is necessary to be a competitive team, which Vasco clearly is not. The Giant is in 16th place with 14 points and two games in hand. Vasco da Gama struggles away from home and now has three consecutive games on the road, two in the league and one in the Copa do Brasil.

Internacional vs Vasco da Gama match prediction 28 July 2025

The one-month break in competition was positive for Inter, as many injured players recovered. The Gaúchos won all three games they played since the league resumed and are therefore more confident. On the other hand, Vasco is struggling and is very close to the relegation zone. This week, the Cariocas were eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, their main goal for the season. Vasco beat Inter in Porto Alegre last year, but I believe that this time the home team will triumph.
