Season ticket holders at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cruzeiro languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Vitória will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B. Thankfully the previous game, versus CRB, was also a home game here at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Vitória have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
