Team analysis: Vitória
Currently positioned 16th with 10 points from 2 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, the home team faces challenges. Their recent match ended in a goalless draw against Corinthians, following a 1-0 defeat at home to Santos. The team has not been especially consistent, winning 7 points from 15 possible in their last five home games. Notably, they have struggled defensively, allowing goals in 9 of their last 10 fixtures. Their attack has been active, succeeding in 7 out of the last 10 matches in this competition. However, they have often failed to get an early lead, managing to score first in only 2 of their last 11 matches, with an overall concerning record that reflects their battle against relegation. To enhance their chances, they must leverage their home advantage and intensify their match to climb up the league table.

They recently defeated Fortaleza (2-0) away and triumphed over Palmeiras (2-1) at home.

The team boasts a solid defence, having conceded few goals, and an effective attack, tallying 17 goals so far. In their latest fixture against Palmeiras, Cruzeiro demonstrated their current form, and they will likely aim to control the midfield in this match, looking to secure an early advantage through their technical prowess.
