Vitória vs. Cruzeiro Betting Odds and Free Pick

The Brasileirão reaches matchday 12, the last one before a short break for the Club World Cup, and Cruzeiro hopes to take advantage of the absence of some teams when they face Vitória and climb to first place.

Vitória is not having a good season, although they managed to earn a goalless draw away against Corinthians last weekend.

Cruzeiro, on the other hand, is fighting at the top and is coming off a hugely important 2-1 win over Palmeiras.

Vitória vs. Cruzeiro Betting Odds and Info

Por que apostar no Vitória?

Unlike last year, when they finished around mid-table, Vitória are now fighting to avoid relegation. After two wins, four draws, and five losses, they have 10 points, sitting in 16th place, and are only above the relegation zone because they’ve conceded one goal less than Fortaleza.

They’ve earned just one point from their last nine available, losing to Bahia and Santos and drawing the previous weekend with Corinthians (0-0). One notable thing about this team is that, despite their position, they haven’t been overwhelmed by opponents.

An interesting fact about this club is that they only have one foreign player, Paraguayan defender Raúl Cáceres, who has played just two league matches and four in the Copa Sudamericana, where they were eliminated.

At home, they have two wins, one draw, and two losses, scoring and conceding six goals. The team’s top scorer is Renato Kayzer, with three goals in four matches. Matheuzinho, who has two goals, returns from suspension.

Por que apostar no Cruzeiro?

With 23 points, Cruzeiro is in second place, just one point behind Flamengo, the leader of the Brasileirão. They have seven wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring 17 goals and conceding eight.

In their last match, they defeated Palmeiras, the league leaders, by 2-1. They are unbeaten in their previous six games, with five wins and a home draw in the derby versus Atlético Mineiro. On the road, they’ve won their last two matches against Sport (0-4) and Fortaleza (0-2).

Kaio Jorge is the team’s top scorer with eight goals, along with two assists, meaning he’s been directly involved in more than half of the club’s goals. He is just one goal behind Giorgian De Arrascaeta, the tournament’s top scorer. The Brazilian striker scored three goals in the last two matches, including a brace versus Palmeiras. Meanwhile, Matheus Henrique remains injured.

The Belo Horizonte side hopes to take advantage of Flamengo not playing due to the Club World Cup and claim the top spot with a win.
