For all of our match predictions, pre-game poll and statistics for Vila Nova v Cruzeiro, scroll down - as well as up-to-date odds.
Vila Nova, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-1 Serie B success vs Atletico PR.
In that game, Vila Nova had 39% possession and 15 shots on goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Vila Nova was Bernardo Schappo (13'). At the other end, Athletico Paranaense got 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Bruno Zapelli (77') scored for Atletico PR.
A common feature of more recent Vila Nova games is the number of nil scores.
From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a loser.
Cruzeiro will go into the clash after a 2-1 Copa Sudamericana win against Palestino in their last match.
In that game, Cruzeiro had 60% possession and 24 shots at goal with 11 on target. For Cruzeiro, the goals were scored by Yannick Bolasie (69') and Gabriel Barbosa (90'). On the other side, Palestino got 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.
In their last six clashes, Cruzeiro have amassed a tally of 12 goals. Cruzeiro have also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, they have had 3 goals scored by their opponents. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if that pattern will continue on in this next match or not.
Éric Davis (Knee injury), Guilherme Parede (Cruciate ligament injury) and Marcondes (Cruciate ligament injury) aren’t available for Vila Nova gaffer Rafael Lacerda.
Cruzeiro boss Leonardo Jardim has to choose a team with limited availability. João Marcelo (Torn knee ligaments), Matheus Henrique (Meniscus injury) and Japa (Inflammation of the biceps tendon in the thigh) won’t be making appearances.
Our thinking is that Vila Nova will do well to be putting a goal past this Cruzeiro lineup who we reckon will be able to grind out a win.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a narrow 0-1 win for Cruzeiro at full-time.
A close call.
Checking the latest betting odds for this match in the 90 minute result market, a win for Vila Nova is available for 3.3, going for a draw is 3.4 & putting your money on the win for Cruzeiro can be had at 2.15. These are the top prices being offered as of now.
