Vitória vs RB Bragantino Prediction: Expect a tight game

Vitória vs RB Bragantino: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on July 20, 2025

Vitória secured a morale-boosting draw away to Botafogo. It was the second game under Fábio Carille, both played on the road. Carille's first home game is a tricky one as the opposition is high-flying Bragantino.

Vitória: Form and statistics

The Baianos were somewhat fortunate to draw 0-0 with reigning champion Botafogo, but they worked hard to do it. In Davide Ancelotti's debut at the Nilton Santos, the Cariocas took 23 shots and hit the target eight times. Goalkeeper Lucas Arcanjo was the hero for Vitória, saving impossible balls. Arcanjo was named man of the match and is the goalkeeper with the most saves in the league. Botafogo hit the bar twice and wasted two points. In the previous game, the Barra's Lion had lost 1-0 away to Internacional in the last minute, showing great defensive solidity. Against Botafogo, Vitória once again proved to be a very organized team, defending deep. In just a few days, Carille has taken advantage of the defensive process that his predecessor set up and fine-tuned it. It remains to be seen how Vitória will perform at home, because it's not enough to defend well, as no team wins without scoring goals. Vitória is in 17th place with 12 points, and remains in the relegation zone. However, this draw with Botafogo could be a turning point in the season.

Vitória: Lineup

Willian Oliveira is suspended after getting his third yellow card in the competition.

RB Bragantino: Form and statistics

The Massa Bruta drew 2-2 at home with São Paulo and missed the chance to move up to second place. Flamengo lost to Santos, and so the best Bragantino could do was to match the Cariocas' 27 points. Cruzeiro beat Fluminense at the Maracanã and is now the new leader with 30 points. São Paulo started the game strongly and scored after just 9 minutes through André Silva. The striker could have scored a second goal, but he wasted Enzo Díaz's cross. Bragantino kept its cool and leveled in the 43rd minute through Gúzman Rodríguez's header. Fernando Seabra's team started the second half better and made it 2-1 in the 48th minute through Hurtado. Bragantino's two goals were scored by defenders. São Paulo didn't give up and equalized in the 64th minute, again with André Silva scoring. Both teams had chances to score a third goal, but the game ended in a 2-2 draw. It was a good game, but Bragantino was more vulnerable in defense than usual.

RB Bragantino: Lineup

Isidro Pitta and Thiago Borbas are back after serving their suspensions. However, Sasha and Gabriel have received their third yellow cards and are unavailable to play. Additionally, the influential Juninho Capixaba is sidelined due to injury.

Vitória vs RB Bragantino match prediction 20 July 2025

Bragantino is in third place but won't have an easy game against Vitória. The Baianos drew away to Botafogo and gained confidence. Vitória is in the relegation zone and will be fighting hard for victory. The Salvador side did well defensively in the previous two away games under its new coach, but against Bragantino, it will have to attack more. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Vitória with a maximum of three goals scored.
