Cruzeiro vs Vitória Prediction: Cruzeiro wants to return to winning ways

After the defeat in the Clássico Mineiro against rival Atlético and the draw in Chile against Union La Calera for the Copa Libertadores, Cruzeiro wants to get back to winning ways. In both games, The Fox failed to score a goal. For its part, Vitória, despite its name, has yet to win in the Brasileirão. The Baianos have only picked up one point, even though they have a game in hand. The Salvador side is eager for its first win in the Série A.

Cruzeiro

Fernando Seabra's team was humiliated 3-0 by fierce enemy Atlético Mineiro, who gave the Fox no chance. The Rooster is also in good form, which leaves Cruzeiro fans even more disappointed with their team. In the Copa Sudamericana, three draws in three games don't bode well for the Cabuloso's future in the competition either. With four points achieved in the Brasileirão, if Cruzeiro beats the Baianos, it could climb a few places in the table and stabilize again after the negative results

Vitória

After leading 2-0, the Lion allowed Bahia to tie the game and silence the Barradão. Just when it looked like all was in place for the first win in the league and on top of that against city rival, Vitória had a shock of reality. The Baianos need to win a match to take the pressure off themselves. The match at the Mineirão will be the first outside Salvador since the away game with Cuiabá got postponed, and we'll see how Vitória performs.

Expert Betting Tips

The Miners, playing at home in front of their home crowd, have a better chance of winning the game. However, as Cruzeiro hasn't won in recent games, there is some pressure on the players. Vitória hasn't played away yet, so we don't know how the team will perform on the road. I'm therefore going for a Double Chance for Cruzeiro with a total of at least two goals scored, leaving the possibility of a draw open.
