It has not been often in recent times that Vitoria have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Vitoria have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 6 goals during that time. Despite that, time will tell whether that trend shall continue on in this game.

• have not won away from home in their last 6 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Vitoria

It’s our opinion that Leão da Barra should make use of the 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Lucas Arcanjo, Claudinho, Edu, Lucas Halter, Jamerson, Ricardo Ryller, Ronald, Gabriel Baralhas, Wellington Rato, Renato Kayzer and Osvaldo Filho.

📰 Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has not got a full squad to pick from. Guilherme (Hip flexor problems) and João Schmidt (Hamstring injury) can’t be considered.

We reckon that Peixe will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Gabriel Brazão, Leonardo Godoy, Gil, Joao Basso, Luan Peres, Tomas Rincon, Zé Rafael, Benjamín Rollheiser, Thaciano, Alvaro Barreal and Tiquinho Soares.

💭 Prediction

We’re thinking that Santos might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this Vitoria side who we think might well do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore predicting a narrow 1-0 win for Vitoria at the conclusion of the game.

Hoping for a good game.
