Vitória form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Vitória are 2-3-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Vitória's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Gremio. Midfielder Eduardo was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.0 (out of ten) in that game. Eduardo hit one key pass.

A Serie B defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at CSA.

It could be relevant to look at how Vitória have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

There will be little rest for Vitória after this match as they are travelling to Gremio for a Copa do Brasil game in only three days.
