The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Vitória are in the 8th position while the guesting Oeste worry at 20th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Oeste have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There might be some fixture complaints from Oeste as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie B match against Cuiaba (0-3). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs CSA.

Oeste are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, seven draws and four defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Oeste are hosting Botafogo SP in the Serie B only three days away.
