Vitoria (15th, 45 pts) face the unenviable task of hosting in-form Cruzeiro (3rd, 70 pts). The gap in quality should tell, but home advantage can be a great leveller.
Rene has been Vitoria's spearhead, with 5 goals and 1 assists in 18 appearances, averaging 1.11 shots on target per game. Matheus Pereira has been Cruzeiro's main threat, with 6 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances, averaging 0.77 shots on target per game.
The travelling Cruzeiro fans arrive with a spring in their step, and rightly so. 4 wins on the bounce. That W-W-W-W-L away form is genuinely impressive. Vitoria have been wobbling (W-L-L-L-L) recent form reads W-L-L-L-L. But home crowds have a way of dragging a side through, and Vitoria will fancy that their own supporters can be the difference when it matters. Cruzeiro have been outstanding on the road recently. Their away form is significantly better than their season average.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Vitoria create chances worth 1.2 a game (and give up chances worth 1.1), leaving them +0.1 a game on the balance. Cruzeiro create 1.2 (giving up 1.0) for a balance of +0.2. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
Vitoria average 0.9 goals per game and Cruzeiro manage 1.4. Combined that's just 2.3. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Cruzeiro prefer to keep things tight (0.8 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Vitoria against this setup.
