Cruzeiro vs Vasco da Gama: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on April 28, 2025
Cruzeiro has suffered two defeats in a week, and the team's confidence is low. The unexpected 3-0 victory against Bahia looked like a turning point in the season, but the bad results have returned. This game against Vasco da Gama is crucial for the Fox.

Coach Leonardo Jardim still hasn't managed to impose his game plan, and Cruzeiro's displays have been poor. In Round 4, the Miners beat Bahia 3-0, playing their best game of the season, and the fans smiled at last. However, the team lost 1-0 away to Bragantino in the following game and struggled to create chances. Red Bull scored early in the 15th minute through Jhon Jhon, and from then on, the Cabuloso forwards had no space. In midweek, Cruzeiro played a decisive game against Palestino in Chile for the Copa Sudamericana. After two defeats in the first two group matches, Cruzeiro had to win to keep its chances of qualification intact. The Belo Horizonte side lost 2-1 in a dramatic finish. Cruzeiro was trailing, and Carlos Eduardo equalized in the 83rd minute, but three minutes later, the Chileans scored their second goal, in an unfortunate moment for experienced goalkeeper Cássio. Due to commercial reasons, the game against Vasco will take place in Uberlândia, which could complicate the Miners' task even more.

Dudu won't play due to a disciplinary procedure. The winger is unhappy about being a substitute and said he doesn't understand the coach's decision. Central defender Fabrício picked up his third yellow card and is suspended. Fagner and Matheus Pereira are back and should play as starters.

Vasco da Gama: Form and statistics
The Giant had a quiet few days after a good result in the derby with Flamengo at the Maracanã. Vasco usually finds it hard against its rival, so the 0-0 draw gave the team confidence. Vasco da Gama is eighth with seven points, the same as Cruzeiro, and the standings are within expectations. The Cariocas need to win away from home to climb the table, something they still haven't been able to do in the league, and a chronic problem in recent years. In the Brasileirão, Cruzmaltino is strong at home but struggles on the road. In midweek, the Vascaínos drew 0-0 at São Januário with Lanús, and the fans once again showed their dissatisfaction with the coach. The team from Rio is in second place in the Copa Sudamericana's Group G with five points from three games. Carille didn't have many valid options on the bench, so the criticism seemed exaggerated. It was the first time Vasco had failed to win at the São Januário since Fábio Carille arrived at the club.
Vasco da Gama: Lineup
Tchê Tchê is not injured but has been given time off for personal reasons. Piton is out of the team with a last-minute injury. Payet and Lemos are still sidelined.
🔖Vasco starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Léo Jardim – Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Lucas Freitas, Victor Luís – Hugo Moura, Jair – Nuno Moreira, Coutinho, Rayan – Vegetti.
⛔️Out: Piton, Payet, Lemos, Estrella, David (injured)
👤Head Coach: Fábio Carille

Cruzeiro vs Vasco da Gama match prediction 28 April 2025
The Miners are playing under pressure and are struggling, especially in the Copa Sudamericana, where they have lost every match. For commercial reasons, the game with Vasco will take place in Uberlândia, and Cruzeiro won't have a home advantage. However, Cruzeiro has only lost one of the last eight meetings with Vasco, which could have some influence. I'm going for a Double Chance for Cruzeiro with a maximum of three goals scored.
