Fluminense FC vs. CR Vasco da Gama - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Market context

Polymarket is currently pricing this exact-score contract at **0% YES**, so the market is treating that listed scoreline as effectively absent from the book for the Fluminense v Vasco da Gama Copa do Brasil tie. On Polymarket, traders hold USDC on Polygon against conditional tokens, and settlement is based strictly on the 90-minute score plus stoppage time, with extra time and penalties excluded, so the relevant question is not who advances but which regulation score, if any, matches the listed outcome.

For context, this fixture has usually been tight rather than lopsided. In 31 recent head-to-head meetings, Fluminense have won 10, Vasco da Gama 14, and seven have ended level, with the two sides scoring 32 and 37 goals respectively across those games[1]. A broader historical sample from SoccerPunter shows an even more draw-prone profile, with 59 meetings producing 21 draws and relatively modest average scoring of 1.14 goals for Fluminense and 1.22 for Vasco[19]. That kind of record matters for exact-score markets because low-margin rivalry games often cluster around narrow wins, draws, or a small set of common scorelines rather than high-scoring patterns.

The key catalysts to watch are lineup news, last-minute injury or suspension updates, and any official change to kick-off or venue, because a postponed match keeps the market open until completion. Recent head-to-head and match-stat pages also show both sides can generate chances but are not consistently high-scoring, which keeps 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 and 2-1 style outcomes in focus rather than extreme scores[2][15]. If the game is ultimately decided in extra time or on penalties, that will not affect this contract’s settlement, since only regulation time counts[2].

UK Frequently Asked Questions

Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check the legal status of prediction markets in your jurisdiction before trading.
