Vitoria are having a rough time. In their last five matches they have only managed one win, with three losses and a draw. Cruzeiro are also struggling - they have lost four of their last five games, so neither team comes into this one looking sharp.

When these two meet, the games tend to have goals, and they usually end with Cruzeiro on top. Recent meetings have mostly gone Cruzeiro's way, and even the closer ones were high-scoring draws. Given how both teams are playing right now, this looks like a close game that could easily end in a draw, with Cruzeiro having the slight edge if a winner has to be found.
