Vitoria are one of the teams that have the lowest budget in the Brazilian Serie A, so avoiding relegation should be their primary goal. The start of the 2025 season wasn't easy, so the club from Salvador collected only ten points from the first 11 league rounds. Vitoria struggled lately with one draw and three defeats in the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Vitoria played 0-0 on the road against Corinthians. The guests were fortunate to avoid defeat, finishing the match with 29% ball possession and seven fewer shots on goal than their opponent.
Cruzeiro are playing surprisingly well this season as they are only one point behind the league leader, Flamengo. Most pundits expected Cruzeiro to be a mid-table team, but the team's strong early-season form has significantly raised expectations. Cruzeiro are undefeated in the last 11 matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home against Palmeiras. Cruzeiro created the clearer scoring chances and made the most of them, securing yet another statement victory.
Vitoria vs Cruzeiro pick: Under 2.5 goals
Vitoria didn't score any goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Cruzeiro allowed only one goal in the previous five games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie at Barradao.
