Vasco da Gama vs Atlético Mineiro: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on August 10, 2025

Vasco da Gama and Atlético Mineiro will meet at the São Januário for one of the most balanced matches of Round 19. Both teams played this week in the Copa do Brasil, and both secured their places in the quarterfinals.

Vasco da Gama: Form and statistics

In the last round, Vasco da Gama joined the list of Mirassol's victims. Fernando Diniz's team did not play badly but made several defensive mistakes and paid the price. At halftime, the score was 0-0; however, the second half was very exciting. The fans at the Maião stadium saw four goals in 19 minutes. At 58', Mirassol was already winning 2-0, but then the Cariocas had a strong reaction. Vasco scored at 66' through Puma Rodríguez and scored again at 70' through the inevitable Vegetti, equalizing the score. At 84', Alesson made it 3-2, and Mirassol defeated another historic club, as it had done several times this year. Vasco dropped into the relegation zone, and the situation is becoming complicated. In midweek, the Giant beat CSA 3-1 at home and qualified for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Rayan, Coutinho, and Tchê-Tchê scored the goals for the Vascaínos. The next game against Atlético Mineiro is crucial for Diniz's men.

Atlético Mineiro: Form and statistics

The Rooster had a happy week with a victory over Bragantino and qualification for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, eliminating Flamengo. In the league, despite Bragantino playing with ten men from the 36th minute, the game was not easy for Atlético. The Miners opened the scoring in the 7th minute but failed to score a second goal and began to get anxious. Bragantino managed to equalize through Laquintana in the 77th minute, only for Nataniel to restore Atlético's lead four minutes later. Cuca's side returned to winning ways in the league after three consecutive defeats and climbed to 10th place. In midweek, Atlético Mineiro lost 1-0 at home to Flamengo but managed to advance to the next stage of the competition on penalties. Goalkeeper Everson was the hero, saving a penalty and scoring the last one for his team. In the end, players and fans celebrated a big victory for the club.

Vasco has fallen into the relegation zone and is under massive pressure. To make it harder, the Cariocas will now face a highly motivated team. Atlético knocked Flamengo out of the Copa do Brasil and is very confident. The game should be tight, and either team could win. The Miners will have a midweek fixture for the Copa Sudamericana, and Cuca may manage the effort of some players.
