Vitória vs Atlético Mineiro Prediction: The Baianos are shocked

Vitória vs Atlético Mineiro: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on September 01, 2025

Vitória lost 8-0 Flamengo at the Maracanã, and coach Fábio Carille was fired. The players' confidence is shattered, and interim coach Rodrigo Chagas will try to put the pieces back together.

Vitória: Form and statistics

There isn't much to say when a team loses by eight goals. Some days it's better not to leave the house, and the Baianos realized this in the first few minutes of the game. By the 3rd minute, Flamengo was already winning 2-0, and the Vitória players couldn't keep their cool and lost control. The Cariocas never stopped attacking and never slowed down, which made things even more difficult for the Lion. At halftime, Flamengo was winning 3-0, and the start of the second half was even more terrible for Vitória. At 59', the Série A leader was already winning 7-0. Flamengo scored four goals in 12 minutes, driving its fans wild. Only one more goal was scored in the last 30 minutes, but even so, it was the biggest defeat for a team since the Brasileirão adopted its current league format. The coach could not withstand the humiliation, and Vitória remains in the relegation zone. It remains to be seen how Vitória's players will react to such a crushing defeat.

Atlético Mineiro: Form and statistics

The Rooster did not lose 8-0, but its manager was also sacked after two poor results in a few days. Cuca did not resist the home defeat against rival Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil. Lucas Gonçalves is expected to take over temporarily. In the league, Atlético lost 2-0 to São Paulo away with a poor performance. The team was not at full strength due to injuries and suspensions, and the Paulistas controlled the game without any problems. Atlético is in a disappointing 12th place. In midweek, The Rooster lost 2-0 at home to Cruzeiro in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. The rivalry between the two Belo Horizonte clubs is massive, and losing at home against the biggest enemy was a huge blow for Atlético. Cruzeiro is in third place in the league, which makes the season even more painful for Atlético Mineiro fans, who are seeing their team struggle.

Lucas Gonçalves will lead the team against Vitória. Dudu, Alonso, Cuello, and Hulk are back after suspension.

Vitória vs Atlético Mineiro match prediction 01 September 2025

Both clubs are going through a turbulent period, and both sacked their coaches last week. The two teams will be led by temporary coaches, but this term is perhaps absurd, as it is very difficult for a coach to stay at a club for long in the Brasileirão. It is always hard to predict the outcomes of games in this league, and even more so when both teams will have new coaches on the bench. Vitória lost 8-0 against Flamengo, so it is likely that the Baianos are psychologically affected by the humiliation. I am going to bet on both teams to score.
