Forms guide and team overview
Victory
Vitória have shown a mixed bag of results recently, but their form at home has been particularly encouraging. A 2-0 win over São Paulo and a 1-0 win against Mirassol highlight their ability to get results on home turf. However, their performances away from home have been less convincing, with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Cruzeiro still fresh in their minds.
That inconsistency may be a concern, but recent home wins should boost their confidence heading into this game. If they can reproduce their defensive solidity and clinical results from those games, they have a good chance of another positive result.
